Darlington costume makers required
DARLINGTON Civic Theatre is looking for volunteers to help create costumes for the forthcoming community production of A Tale of Two Cities, which will be staged in the Dolphin Centre’s Central Hall, in November.
Anyone with sewing skills of all levels and or knitting skills. The work will involve making period garments and altering contemporary clothes. Making will include full-length skirts, bustles, waistcoats, cockades, dirtying down costumes and alterations of garments to fit our cast. All volunteers will work alongside an experienced wardrobe supervisor during the sessions.
Anyone interested should email lyndsey.middleton@darlington.gov.uk or call her on 01325 405510.
The adaptation of Charles Dickens' famous novel will run on Saturday, November 19 and Sunday, November 20.
The Touring Consortium Theatre Company, who most recently brought Of Mice And Men, A View From The Bridge and Brave New World to the Civic, are now working in partnership with the theatre to creata a production with a cast of community actors.
This new adaptation by Mike Poulton (of Fortune’s Fool, Old Vic and Wolf Hall, RSC, fame) will feature approximately 30 local actors alongside a professional production team led by director Eduard Lewis. The play benefits from the atmospheric setting of Darlington’s Central Hall, where Dickens himself read on September 21, 1858.
Tickets are £18 for adults, and £10 for under 16s. Box Office: 01325-486-555 or darlingtoncivic.co.uk
