At this audition for our May play (performance dates for Stepping Out are between 14 and 24 May), director Mathilde Berry is looking at three roles in particular:

• Rose (age: 30+): in the script, she is Afro-Caribbean

• Mrs Fraser (age: 50+): piano player an advantage

• Maxine (age: 30 to 50): confident dancer

Stepping Out is a warm and very funny play about the lives, laughs and loves of a group of women (and one man) attending a weekly tap-dance class in a dingy North London church hall. The grand finale features a triumphant show number.

The Hamburg Players’ own improv group will take the stage at Indra on Große Freiheit 64 as part of the monthly “Joke’s on You” series on Tuesday, 26 November

Two groups will perform that evening, as far as we know the Hamburg Players will go on as the second act of the evening. Tickets are available here.

Ripcord is a bit like The Odd Couple in that it centres around two characters who couldn’t be more different from one another. Abby and Marilyn, residents in a seniors’ living facility, are forced to share a room. While misanthropic Abby would rather prefer to live alone, her new roommate Marilyn turns out to be bubbly, bright, and almost unbearably cheerful. What ensues is a satirical battle for control, ranging from witty to slaptick-y, which deals with people's expectations of what it means to grow old in twenty-first century America.

Performance dates are from 19 February to 1 March 2025. The production will be directed by Mathilde Berry.

You won’t have to prepare anything for the audition.

We plan to produce this hilarious and biting comedy centering around two elderly women locked in a battle of one-upmanship while sharing a room in a seniors’ living facility either from 19 February to 1 March or in or from 14 to 24 May 2025.

The final scheduling depends on the outcome of previous audtions for Stepping Out.

Both productions will be directed by Mathilde Berry.

You won’t have to prepare anyrthing for the audition, but -at least for now - you should be available for both performance slots.
