How to use this workshop site
👈🏻 • Click the buttons on either side to go directly to characters or sections. 👉🏻
• When you go to the characters you get info about them. You also get which songs they sing (if any) and if you click on the songs it takes you directly to the song in the script where you get the lyrics and audio of the song. If there is a second audio that will be a backing track of the song that you can rehearse to.
• At the bottom of each charachter you get a link that takes you directly to their audition piece.
• If you click the song button on the left hand side you go straight to the song list of all 11 songs. If you click on the song your are taken to the part of the script that the song lyrics/audio appear.
Accomodation
We'll be staying at Oatridge Residential from the 5th of August for one whole week.
This is the address:
SRUC Oatridge Campus, Ecclesmachan Rd, Uphall, Broxburn EH52 6NH
This is out of town so involves traveling in and back daily. It's around 40 minutes by car.
This was the must appropriate we could find within budget and to ensure that we are all together as a group.
