Audition Call for our first 2025 performance 
Our Busselton Repertory Club are planning to produce a short family show in January to replace our usual annual Pantomime.
As our Weld Theatre is not yet available, performances will be at the Busselton Senior Citizens' Centre from 10 January 2025. Rehearsals will commence in November.
The show will be "It's the Same the Whole World Over", a short show for all the family, almost a pantomime, but not a pantomime, with comedy, audience involvement and some of the usual villains, heroes and shenanigans!!  Because of logistics, space and prep, there will be a much smaller cast, smaller chorus, etc.  We will return to our traditional iconic full Pantomime in January 2026.  Yay!!
Proposed dates for performance are:
Friday 10 January 7.00pm
Saturday 11 January 2.00pm
Sunday 12 January 2.00pm
Friday 17 January 7.00pm
Saturday 18 January 7.00pm
Sunday 19 January 2.00pm

  1. You will need to register for a 15 minute audition spot.
