Good Time auditions

KDC Theatre presents…Good Time!

Calling all creatives…

We at KDC Theatre are proud and excited to unveil our new night for creatives and party people!

A one night event, mid-December 2024, showcasing the breadth of talent the KDC community and beyond has culminating in one big party to see it off.

For performers…

We’d like to see your monologue, poem, musical brilliance, circus skills, stand-up routine, or another talent you would like to showcase.

To audition, sign up to the main Autumn 2024 auditions, and we will see you at a special Good Time audition on Saturday 21 September. You can also hear more at the season launch event on Monday 9 September.

For writers…

Send your submission of a monologue, duologue, scene, poem lasting no longer than 4 pages, and needing no more than 3 actors by Friday 27 September. The chosen pieces will be staged as part of the evening.

As it is our inaugural Good Time we would love to see creatives inspired by our namesake! What sparks in your mind, what gets you going, what’s your reaction when you want a GOOD TIME? Let’s have fun with it and we can’t wait to see what you come up with!

As this is an 18+ event, we will be accepting submissions from any person over the age of 18. Please only submit one piece of work, using this link.

Good Time

At our auditions this season there will be another chance to get involved with a brand new KDC event – Good Time, an eclectic showcase of all kinds of creative talent from the KDC community and beyond for one night only in December at a venue to be confirmed.

As a performer, there will be two ways to get involved – be part of something devised by someone else, or bring your own talent that could work as a solo performance. So, if you’re an actor-musician, actor-poet, actor-acrobat or multi-hyphenate of any kind… there could be a role in this for you!

The Good Time team will be on hand at the first auditions to tell you a bit more about it, and recruiting performers from our auditionees. 

For now though, if we’ve got you interested, just tick the box on the audition form and tell us what you’d want to share.

About

“Goats” is set in a small Syrian town brainwashed by ongoing propaganda to fight a civil war. Martyrs are considered heroes in the eyes of many, and grieving families are given goats as part of the local party leader, Abu Al Tayyib’s compensation scheme.

Revisit “Goats” seven years after it premiered in London, but this time through a reimagining of the characters and the space. Ram Noureddine’s play adaptation tackles the absurdity of war and the hypocrisy that follows corruption. We will be introduced again to the original story through the martyr’s father, Abu Firas, and his journey to seek the truth about his son. This production focuses on the idea that war is indistinctive for people’s culture, ethnicity and race, portrayed by the diverse cast members.

“War can reach anyone and everyone.” – Ram Noureddine, Adaptor and Director.
