Male and Female Actors for Co-Op production
Canberra (includes transport from Sydney)
This is an opportunity to be part of an exciting project. Skylight is David Hare at his best.
The characters in this play will stretch the actors involved to their limits and then some, we hope.
We are a newly formed company aiming to create touring work for actors and technicians.
Our goal with this first play, one of several already at the planning stage, is to establish Gypsy Entertainment as a recognized source of high quality productions showcasing some of the most vibrant talent the industry has to offer.
We are starting with nothing, like so many in this country, except some keen professionals
and a dream to create employment and make exceptional theatre!
Regards
Michael Godbee
