ORGANISERS of Bendigo\u2019s Way of the Cross<\/em> are encouraging local actors to audition for the town\u2019s upcoming passion play.<\/p>\n

Tryouts for speaking roles will take place Tuesday, 8 and Wednesday 9, February at the Baptist Church in Junortoun.<\/p>\n

Committee chair David Wright said it\u2019s the perfect opportunity for actors to hone their craft.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019ll play in front of two, three, four thousand people and it\u2019s quite a different experience but it\u2019s great experience. It\u2019s a great challenge for them,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The Easter production will take place outside The Capital theatre on View Street due to its Corinthian architecture.<\/p>\n

Roads connecting to View Street will be blocked by the City of Grater Bendigo to make the event safe and enjoyable for attendees.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople can bring their chair or stand in the street to watch the production,\u201d Mr Wright said.<\/p>\n

If an acting role isn\u2019t for you, offstage production roles are also available.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re looking for people to help us with makeup, costumes and set construction,\u201d Mr Wright said. \u201cWe need people to help us with crowd control and promotion too.\u201d<\/p>\n

The team behind the Way of the Cross<\/em> are aims to pulling out all the stops for their night of entertainment.<\/p>\n

Musician, Father Rob Galea, will accompany the show with a live performance.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want this to be a really spectacular production,\u201d Mr Wright said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
