At the FCT AGM last night it was announced that the 2010 Easter Show will be ‘Just So’ by ‘Honk’ creators Anthony Drewe and George Styles. You can read much more about the show here.
The show will take place from 14 – 17th April and be performed at St Brides Centre, Gorgie.
Cameron Dyer will make his Directorial Debut. Already, work has been underway and plans are looking very exciting! Set to an eclectic, upbeat score, Kipling’s “Just So Stories” are woven with wit and imagination into a song-filled journey through the jungle. This show provides an excellent mix of characters, giving opportunity to all ages.
Auditions are being held on Wednesday 23rd December at Trinity Academicals Rugby Club, Craighall Gardens from 1000 – 1600. Please wear comfortable clothing and shoes that are suitable for doing movement in. It is also advised to bring a packed lunch as there may not be time to go to the shops.
The day will take the format of morning workshops followed by small group auditions in front of the directing team. It will be a brilliant experience and involve lots of fun, dancing and meeting new people. All material will be learnt in the morning so there is no need to prepare anything in advance. Please be prepared to stay until 1600 although there is chance you may be able to leave before depending on when each group is seen.
Rehearsals are due to start on Friday 8th January 1830 – 2100. Rehearsals will be held on a Friday evening and a Sunday afternoon, although some principals may be called for occassional rehearsal on a Wednesday evening.
Here’s a little taster.

Here are the instructions…
Simply text the word ENTALENT followed by a space then key in the special code of your chosen act, followed by a space then please key your postcode to 81800. Example (ENTALENT 041 EH8 8AS)
Texts cost 60p plus your standard network rate.
Alternatively, and this is particularly strategic for our trio, you can buy the paper and fill in the voting slip – this method counts as TWO votes, rather than the one vote garnered from a text message.
Do the math: 60p text message = ONE vote. 43p newspaper cut-out slip = TWO votes.
Post completed cut-out slips to: Edinburgh’s Got Talent, 108 Holyrood Road, Edinburgh, EH8 8AS or hand deliver to the Talent postbox in reception at the same address.
The best bit is….. you can vote as many times as you like!
C’mon everyone, let’s get them in the top ten so they can perform on the big night.
So, if you’re texting get your votes in folks for Matty Smith ENTALENT 001
Rebecca Gilhooley ENTALENT 016
and Charlotte Jones ENTALENT 015

On Friday night we gathered en-mass at the VIP Room at The Gilded Balloon to see how we had fared in the third ENDA Awards. (Evening News Drama Awards) which are open exclusively for Edinburgh groups. Liam Rudden has to be commended for bringing recognition to local groups in a Festival which is overwhelmed sometimes by comedy acts.
The Drama ENDA this year went to ETA for A Tale of Two Cities. Well Done ETA on recording a double.
Next up; the best Musical award and we were facing Tempo and Edinburgh University’s Savoy Company. We didn’t have to wait long though before the news we were all hoping for broke. We’d won. Again!
It was the perfect finish to the Fringe for a cast, band and crew that had truly excelled.
The moment of truth as Andrew Dyer hears the news...
Roll on 2010.
The trophy.
