URGENT CASTING CALL: FINAL 2 ROLES
Our cast for the brilliant 1940s wartime comedy Into the Breeches! is almost complete and we need YOU to help us bring the house down this November at Retford Little Theatre!
Set on the WWII Home Front, this hilarious and heart-warming show follows a group of women stepping up to keep their local theatre alive while the men are at war.
We’re looking for two fantastic performers to join our supportive, biscuit-loving team:
IDA GREEN (Stage Age 30s–50s)
The Vibe: Sharp, practical, and deeply talented. She’s the theatre’s costume wizard who reluctantly steps off the side lines and into the spotlight!
Note: To reflect the script and historical setting, this role specifically requires a female or non-binary performer of colour (Black or Asian).
JUNE SANDERS (Stage Age late 10s–20s)
The Vibe: Bright, eager, and bursting with comedic energy! The youngest of the group, June is desperate to perform and brings pure joy to the stage.
Key Dates: Show Week is 16th–21st November 2026 (rehearsals start soon with flexible scheduling).
Whether you’re a seasoned actor or looking for a fun vintage project to boost your portfolio, we’d love to chat!
Interested? Call Jooli Atkins on 07803 988433 or Keri Duffy on 07772 368806
Play Review
THE FULL MONTY
The Full Monty is a play based on Simon Beaufoy’s 1997 BAFTA winning screenplay of the film. It tells the story of a group of steelworkers from Sheffield who find themselves on the scrapheap when their local steelwork closes down. Produced by Donnamarie Stamp, we are taken on a journey where the men central to the story bare their souls and eventually a whole lot more! The storyline examines the sensitive subjects of men’s metal health, sexuality and suicide as the main protagonists deal with the shame of no longer being the family breadwinner and perceived emasculation by their female partners…..

IMPORTANT ANNOUCEMENT
We rely on our small army of volunteers, without whom we wouldn’t be able to entertain our audiences.
Yes, it’s true – the theatre staff aren’t paid – they’re all volunteers, and they form an essential part of every event that takes place.
We welcome anyone that can spare a few hours to give us a hand – it could be serving drinks in the bar, making tea and coffee for the interval, working the box office, or even acting as Front of House Staff in the auditorium.
