| Tappers - here's your chance to go 'Stepping Out' |
| EGOS bring the hit comedy to Chequer Mead stage in January and directors Leigh Wheatley and Krys Kennard will be looking to cast 10 tapping ladies and one ‘Geoffrey’ at auditions in September.
“All abilities are welcome the whole cast must all be able to tap dance in the first place, to make it look like they can’t, which is where the cast’s acting skills will be tested.” says Leigh, who also hopes to encounter a real piano playing ‘Mrs Fraser’.
There will be a Launch Evening at Chequer Mead on Monday 1st September, when pieces will be available for the auditions which will be held during the first 2 weeks of September . Further details from Leigh on 07767832049 or leighkw58@homecall.co.uk ,
