As the Studio32 company take time to enjoy the summer, preparations are already afoot for our next epic production of musical theatre 9to5. In May, we will bring this show alive at the Cardinal Beluga theatre. Our director is already working with the script, the wardrobe team are assessing costumes and the set is in the planning stage. We are so fortunate to have such dedicated teams who all pull together to make Studio32 and our shows the very best that we can produce. Workshops commence in a couple of months which will bring the company together prior to rehearsals starting. We always welcome new members to each department. Contact
www.studiothirtytwo.org to register your interest whether it be in lighting, sound, props, cast or more. Fun and friendship is guaranteed in the Studio32 team.
