Soldier Boy The Play:

Director Appointed, Auditions open

Great news. Noted Melbourne theatre director, Beng Oh has been appointed to direct the production of Soldier Boy at Theatre Works, St Kilda, Melbourne, for the season 20 June to 5 July.

Auditions were called to cast the eight-hander performances in April. There were over 100 applicants. Very encouraging.

Oliver Tapp, pictured with Laura Iris Hill, has been cast as Jim Martin, with Laura as his mother, Amelia. Rehearsals began 22 April. Producer is Dianne Toulson of Theatre Works. Other cast members are: Philip Hayden, Emily Joy, Callum MacKay, Ashlynn Parigi, Charlie Veitch, Mark Yeated. I'm looking forward enormously to seeing the play brought to life.
