About the event

UNNECESSARY FARCE - AUDITIONS
When: Saturday 6 December and Sunday 7 December 2025
Venue: Riverlea Theatre, 83 Riverlea Road, Hamilton 3216 in Studio 1.
Time: 10.00am to 4.00pm (both days)

Cast required:

Male characters
• Eric Sheridan (30s): An honest and bookish police officer who is thrown into an escalating series of difficult situations, often without his pants on.

• Mayor Meekly (50s–70s): An affable and seemingly innocent mayor who is not quick on the uptake.

• Agent Frank (20s–50s): The Head of Security at Town Hall. Despite his confident and gruff exterior, he is easily frightened and frequently the wrong man for the job.

• Todd (20s–50s): A professional hitman with a pronounced Scottish accent. The angrier he gets, the thicker his accent becomes, making him indecipherable.

Female characters
• Billie Dwyer (20s–30s): A police officer and Eric's partner. She is enthusiastic and eager to succeed but lacks basic police skills.

• Karen Brown (30s): An accountant with a professional demeanour that gives way to a sudden, overwhelming sexual hunger.

• Mary Meekly (50s–70s): The mayor's sweet-natured, small-statured wife who is not all that she appears to be.

Rehearsals start on Monday, 12 January, from 7.00pm to 9.00pm.
Season dates: 13-28 March 2026.

Synopsis: Two cops. Three crooks. Eight doors. Go. In a cheap motel room, an embezzling mayor is supposed to meet with his female accountant, while in the room next-door, two undercover cops wait to catch the meeting on videotape. But there's some confusion as to who's in which room, who's being videotaped, who's taken the money, who's hired a hit man, and why the accountant keeps taking off her clothes.
