Good Time

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.

KDC summer social

Come join the KDC Theatre community in the afternoon of August 26th Bank Holiday Monday for a picnic in Green Park. We’ll be toasting the end of summer and beginning of our next season of exciting productions. Whether you’re an old hand or newbie to the group, come and be merry!

What: KDC Theatre members and community are meeting for an end-of-summer aperitivo! Bring your blankets, picnic fare, and drinks of choice. Remember: Sharing is caring!

When: Monday 26 August, from 4pm until sundown

Where: Green Park, just south of the exit from Green Park tube station (exit on the south side of Piccadilly). Exact location is here on What Three Words: https://w3w.co/bright.blur.belly and there is a toilet and M&S in the Tube station nearby.

RSVPs are not necessary, please just show up – everyone is welcome!

About

W;t goes inside the mind of Professor Vivian Bearing, a professor of metaphysical poetry specialising in the poet John Donne, while she receives experimental chemotherapy treatment for stage four metastatic ovarian cancer.

W;t is a drama about kindness, the pursuit of knowledge, and how we come to be ourselves. For a play about cancer, it is surprisingly funny. W;t won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1999.
