Noah the Musical Audition/Workshop

Nearly fifty young people attended our audition workshop for Noah the Musical. It was an opportunity to learn some of the songs and to hear about the characters in the show.  One of our back stage participants helped by taking photographs and video and will be helping to blog during the workshop itself.

There are still places available to be part of our workshop experience including those who want to perform and gain skills back stage.  Email us at home@vivodarte.co.uk for more details.

Introduction Workshop - Noah the Musical

Ian Gower, co-writer of Noah the Musical, led a workshop introducing the musical to a group of young people aged 11 to 18.  We are looking for a large cast to join us this Easter to work together over two weeks to create a high quality show.  Those involved will have the opportunity to learn new skills, not only on-stage, but behind the scenes building set, helping with make-up costumes and light and sound.
