AUDITION NOTICE -
​
​SHIRLEY VALENTINE by Willy Russell
directed by Susan Cameron
​
Riccarton Players are on the lookout for two fabulous women to share the stage in our upcoming production of Shirley Valentine by Willy Russell, directed by Susan Cameron — and this could be your moment to shine!
This warm, witty, and deeply moving one-woman classic follows Shirley, a Liverpool housewife who’s been talking to the kitchen wall a bit too long… until a spontaneous trip to Greece changes everything. Sun, self-discovery, laughter, courage, romance — and one unforgettable journey back to herself.
Auditions:
Sunday 19 April 2026 - 9.30am – 2.30pm
The Drama Theatre, Rangi Ruru Girls School, 36 Merivale Lane, Merivale
Who we’re looking for:
Women aged approx. 40–60 years
Two performers will be cast to share the season (4 performances each)
A chance to tackle one of theatre’s most iconic and rewarding solo roles
If you’ve ever wanted a role that’s funny, honest, brave, and bursting with heart — this is it.
