Dr. J. H. Gillis Players & the Harbour Players are looking for anyone interested in playing a small role in their production of Soh Wright and the Seven Mathletes. This play was co-written especially for the One Act play festival by the two groups and casting is becoming an issue as the One Acts are slated to take place during the high school March break when many students go away with their families. We are still looking for someone to play the parts of Doc (male, 10-15 lines/ one solo song and chorus), Sleepy (male or female/ very few lines chorus singing only) and Dopey (male or female, 15-20 lines/ chorus singing only) This play is a hilarious parody of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and it would truly be a shame to scrap it at this point. If you or someone you know may be interested in participating in this production in any way please contact Catherine Meery at catherinemeery@hotmail.com or Caleb MacIsaac at calebmacisaac@hotmail.com
