We are a section of Egglescliffe Community Centre T/A Centre Stage, charity number 1199944 Information
Centre Stage is an amateur dramatic group that performs two shows per year (a pantomime and a summer musical). We are a very friendly, and non-judgmental group. We are here to support, build the confidence of and nurture all our members. We welcome members from age 6* upwards to take part in our performances. Our Rehearsals take place on a Friday and Sunday evening and a full rehearsal schedule is given at the start of a production. We are always looking for new members to join our group, both on and off the stage. We are a section of Egglescliffe Community Centre, and operate under the constitution of the Centre. The Egglescliffe Community Centre charity number is 1199944. Centre Stage is run by a committee and an AGM is held annually. The group does not receive any external funding or support and every show is produced as a result of the hard work committed by the volunteers. We have a membership fee for each show to help cover the cost of hall rent, refreshments, costumes and other running costs. Payments are collected at the beginning of every show when rehearsals commence. Charges at 1st September 2024 are £30 per member (this includes script hire).
*Due to the nature of some of the summer musicals, a minimum age limit may be set. Read through and auditions. Everyone is welcome to attend a read through of the upcoming show. These are held in September for the pantomime and February for the summer musical. Following this auditions will take place. At an audition you will be expected to read a small part from the script, sing a small part of a song and if required perform a short dance routine. The producer makes the final decision casting the show, along with the audition panel. Younger children are often asked to audition as a small group. Decisions about casting are shared via social media, we cannot contact individuals. Please note the decision on if feedback is given after auditions lies with the Producer at the time and may change each show.
