OPEN AUDITION - Last of the Pelican Daughters
2025-02-09 19:00 - 20:30
Director Berni Bebbington is looking to complete the cast for our May 20th – 24th production Last of the Pelican Daughters by Wardrobe Ensemble
All are welcome. No need to book
Just come to the theatre from 7pm this Sunday 9th February
If you have any questions, please phone Berni

Here is a short summary…..
In folklore, pelican mothers feed their young on their own blood. In 2019, four sisters are trying to divide their mother’s house between them
Joy wants a baby, Storm wants to be seen, Sage wants to be paid, Maya doesn’t want anyone to find out her secret and Granny’s in a wheelchair on day release. Mum’s presence still seeps through the ceiling and the floors. The Pelican Daughters are home for the last time.
The play’s authors, Wardrobe Ensemble, use their trademark irreverent humour and lovable characters to tackle the idea of what it means for young people to grapple with inheritance, loss and justice in this comedy about four sisters trying to come to terms with their mother’s death.
