1st read through dates for The Haunting of Hill House. There will also be some read-through's in Oakham, just getting the ball rolling.
My plan is to to do a black and white play. I want the audience to feel like they are watching an old film..
I have put ages down but I'm being relaxed about that so please have a go at who you would like to try for.
If you could also message to say if you are attending that will help me get the room read-through ready.
You do not have to he a member to audition, you join if you get a part.
Rehearsals will be Wednesday evenings and Sunday afternoons. Show dates are the 16th and 17th of October 2026..
Thank you

All will be welcome.
You do not have to be a member of RATS to audition but if you get a part you will have to join and be a member.
