We are looking for a talented cast of 7 (5 women and 2 men) to bring this delightful comedy to the stage. Characters can be played by any nationality and the roles range in size from cameo parts to lead roles. Good comic timing, a commitment to the rehearsal schedule and the right mix of characters will be most important in casting. Auditions are open to the general public and will be held at 1:00pm on November 11th, 2012 at The British Club on Silom Soi 18 To register for auditions or for more information, please email bct@sala.net Wed, 17 Oct 2012 09:07:17 -0500 http://bct-th.org/Article182.html See previous posting for details.

Sun, 07 Oct 2012 09:54:29 -0500 http://bct-th.org/Article180.html Due to conflicts with The Country Wife, our original plans for a quiz this month will be put forward to next year. However, if any of you lovely people would like to touch base with the rest of BCT and have a few sociable beverages, you'd be very welcome to come along to Thursday's rehearsal of The Country Wife at The British Club, from 7pm onwards; having an audience would be helpful, since Restoration Comedy does involve a lot of breaking the fourth wall right left and centre. And then there will be drinks, and chat, and all that jazz.
