Auditions for Winter 2023 Production

Rivercity Players is holding auditions for its next production, coming to the stage January to February 2023.

The play planned is a feel-good comedy, with a touch of romance, from the most produced playwright in Canada.

An open audition will be held on Monday, November 28th at 6:30 pm, with callbacks being held on November 29th at 6:30 pm, both at the Rivercity Stage at 1080 Hemlock St, Campbell River.

The cast involves one woman, aged in her mid to late thirties, 3 women aged 50 to 60 years old, and one man aged early forties. Performance dates are planned for January 23 to February 4, 2023.

If your interests are more in-line with helping out backstage, Rivercity Players is also looking for production volunteers for this play. We are always happy to train and mentor new people wanting to help out behind the scenes!

Dennis Hawkins-Bogle enjoys the challenge of portraying Barry

Dennis Hawkins-Bogle will perform in Rivercity Players' spring 2022 production of Norm Foster's Jonas and Barry in the Home starting May 5th, with shows at Rivercity Stage through May 15th.

Meet Dennis...

Most recent production:

\Most recently, I played Peter in Kayak.

What are you enjoying about this play?

I enjoy so much about this play! But I am enjoying the challenge of learning to portray a 67-year-old curmudgeon. Although a comedy, this play explores family dynamics, break-ups, friendship, aging, illness, and death. I also enjoy working with a creative team of actors, a director, and other technical theatre artists.

How do you see your character?

My character is a cranky old man. He grapples with challenges and life situations that many of us encounter, regardless of our age. My character "falls" into an "abyss," and through awareness and encouragement, changes his life to become more engaged and active.

Kelly Senko is Rosie in Rivercity's spring 2022 production

Kelly Senko will return to the Rivercity stage this May as Rosie in Rivercity Players' production of Jonas and Barry in the Home by Norm Foster.

Meet Kelly...

Most recent production:

My most recent production was Rivercity' first play back after the pandemic; Love Letters.

What are you enjoying about this play?

I enjoy so much about this play! But mostly, how relatable it is to real life, and the range of emotions it portrays. From hilarity to sobbing, this play has it all.

How do you see your character?

I see my character as a real person. Someone struggling to care for herself as she cares for her Dad. I'm really enjoying playing Rosie.

The cast of Jonas and Barry in the Home will be taking to the Rivercity Stage starting May 5th. Visit www.rivercitytickets.ca to see available show dates and times.
