Brunton Summer School 2023

 

We are looking for talented individuals between the ages of 8 and 18 years old to star in this year’s Brunton Summer Production, in partnership with Tommie Travers & David Ross. We are extremely excited to announce this year we are bringing to the stage… Bugsy Malone!

 

Our 2 week intensive is overseen by a professional production team and will culminate in 6 fully staged performances. Throughout an intensive rehearsal period, participants will also take part in drama games, workshops, improvisation, vocal technique classes, choreography, dance technique and much, much more. Daily rehearsals will take place at Loretto Private School. Provisional schedule below.

 

Auditions will take place on Monday 22nd May from 5.30pm – 7.30pm at Fisherrow Community Centre. Call backs for principle parts will be on Monday 29th May.

 

Total cost for the full 2 week intensive £210. * We have a limited number of funded spaces available, if you require further information on this please contact – summerschool@eastlothian.gov.uk.
