Hello Guys, The following e-mail may contain information of a dramatic nature........you have been warned!! *Auditions:* ** If you still havent auditioned for anything,or just havent found the right show for you,worry not,we will be having another massive week of auditions this week. *DISCO PIGS AUDITIONS:* Joey Kavanagh will be holding auditions for a production of Disco Pigs, which is likely to take place at the beginning of Semester Two. Auditions will take place on Wednesday and Thursday from 6-8 in CG04. The play revolves around the intense relationship of two teenage protagonists, Darin and Sinead, nicknamed "Pig" and "Runt". Pig and Runt were born at the same hospital at nearly the same time and grow up right next door to each other, forming a very close relationship that borders on telepathic. The two talk in their own idiosyncratic "language" and live in their own separate world, barely communicating with the world around them. However, in there seventeenth year, their world is breached by an outsider, triggering an irreversible chain of events that will ultimately end in tragedy.
