An audition will be held on Wednesday 9th November 2022 at St Mary le Wigford Church Hall, Lincoln LN5 7EQ.

Tom, a volunteer firefighter
Bill, a flight attendant
Ben, a flight attendant
Shane, a surfer
Danny, a traveller
Koala Bare, a drag queen
Bondi Bitch, a drag queen
An Australian accent will be required for most of these roles. There are no defined ages in the script, so come along and convince us that you have got what it takes!
