The Rickmansworth Players have announced open auditions for their upcoming production of the musical Sister Act, which will be staged at the Watersmeet Theatre in November 2026. This production offers local performers the chance to join the award-winning community theatre group for a full-scale show in their home town.
The musical, which features original music by Alan Menken and was nominated for five Tony Awards, follows the story of a singer who hides in a convent after witnessing a crime. To prepare for the performances, the group is holding a launch night on Monday 15 June 2026, followed by audition sessions on Thursday 25 June and Saturday 28 June 2026. All auditions and pre-audition meetings will be held at Little Green Junior School in Rickmansworth.
Those wishing to audition must submit an application form by 11pm on Monday 22 June 2026. Detailed information regarding the audition process is available on the group’s website. For non-members, there is a £15 audition fee, which is deducted from membership fees should a performer be successful and accept a role. Once cast, participants are required to pay a £75 show fee.
Founded in 1944, the Rickmansworth Players is a voluntary, not-for-profit organisation with over 140 members. The group is affiliated with the National Operatic and Dramatic Association and has received multiple awards for its past productions, which are licensed for amateur performance through Music Theatre International.
