Kingston Vale Operatic & Dramatic Society

A few places have become available in the Annie Jr ensemble. If you are aged 8 – 16 years and would like to take place in this fantastic show which is being performed in early August please contact secretary(a)kvods.com

Just a brief note to say that we have now reached our maximum cast size for the May 2010 show.  If you are a prospective new member then please do not hesitate to contact me regarding joining the company, however I will have to put you on the list for the November 2010 show – Jesus Christ Superstar.

As you are aware our November 2010 show was due to be HMS  ‘Starship’ Pinafore. However we have now decided to postpone this and it will be performed in November 2011.
The reason for postponing this show is due to some very exciting news.  KVODS have been granted the rights to perform Jesus Christ Superstar. As you may know this show is not normally available to amateur theatre companies. Andrew Lloyd Webber has only released the rights for the remainder of 2009 and all of 2010 to co-incide with the show’s 40th anniversary.
This is a fantastic opportunity for KVODS and will be a great show and an amazing experience.
More details will be released early next year!

We are thrilled to announce that Young KVODS 2010 show will be Annie Jr. The performances will take place in July (dates to be confirmed). This is a wonderfully adapted version of Anniejust for youth members! This means that every part in the show, including Miss Hannigan, Oliver Warbucks, Rooster etc will be played by someone aged 16 or under!!

We are looking for a maximum cast of 50 children aged 8 – 16 years. We are expecting a lot of interest in this show and therefore places in the cast will be given to current members first. Membership auditions for any remaining places will then be carried out on a first come first served basis from the date an enquiry email was received.

If we have more children wanting to take part than we have spaces then a waiting list will be drawn up in order of date of enquiry and parents will be contacted if and when a place becomes available.

At the moment we believe we have spaces for approximately 10 new members so please send all enquiries to secretary(a)kvods.com

Please note that although current members get priority places in the cast if they wish to be considered for any type of speaking or singing role they still have to undertake principal auditions just as new members.

Thank you to all those who auditioned last Sunday and yesterday evening. The cast list for Hello, Dolly! is as follows:

Dolly – Lizz Brain

Horace – Brad Waldron

Ermengarde – Carla Rodriguez

Ambrose – Serge Kluit

Cornelius – Richard Roberts

Barnaby – Nick Osborne

Minnie – Becky Winmill

Mrs Molloy – Claire Puttock

Ernestina Money – Francis Richardson

Judge – Nick Wale
