Once casting is complete, rehearsals for this production are on Mondays at Brownhills Community Centre (WS8 7JS) from 7:00pm till 8:30pm. It is £5 a session.
To join our Brownhills drama group's production of 'Treasure Island', you must attend the free of charge audition on 8th September 2025. No experience is necessary, and everyone gets a role! You are welcome to join the group before this date, where we will be doing skill building sessions, audition preparation, and learning more about the show, before we properly start rehearsing. Please note that while the drama group is for ages 7 to 17, this show contains mild language and has some adult, inside jokes. Roles will therefore be cast age appropriately.
A group session will take place on the audition day where everyone will do drama activities as a group. This allows us to see who stands out, and who works well together. During this group audition, those who want to try for lead roles will be taken to another room to do solo auditions, using one of the audition packs below. You do not have to do a solo audition as everyone who attends on audition day gets a role in the show.
You do however, have to do a solo audition if you want to be considered for a lead role.
