Annie is BACK!

AMTC is pleased to announce that auditions are open for Annie. We will not be hosting our usual information night due to some ongoing COVID restrictions. Instead we ask potential cast members to watch the video presentation regarding the production and audition arrangements.  The video can be found here. In addition to the obvious ”little girls”, there are performance opportunities for males and females with a believable stage age of at least young adult.

Once you have considered your availability, please then proceed to the on-line booking forms – see links below. Bookings for auditions close on Monday 8th November for orphans and Annie roles and 15th November for adult and ensemble roles.

NSW Health orders will restrict in-person attendance for people over 16 years of age who are not double vaccinated. This does not exclude you from auditioning, please contact us. Any queries should be directed to annie@amtc.org.au

November’s Jesus Christ Superstar Production Cancelled

Due to Covid restrictions AMTC’s production of Jesus Christ Superstar was to be postponed till late 2022.  However, as luck would have it, next year is the 50th Anniversary of Superstar.  The company holding the rights to the show have advised AMTC it is withholding permission for community based productions for at least 2022, with a view of the show being performed professionally.  AMTC will again seek rights for Jesus Christ Superstar as soon as possible, but it will not be until 2023.  

Losing the option to produce Jesus Christ Superstar for the Shoalhaven will open up opportunities for other shows.  Please regularly check this website or AMTC’s Facebook page for news of upcoming shows, the first being Annie in May 2022!
