Welcome to Bench Theatre's His Dark Materials production web-pages

This is an epic production for any company, but particularly so for an amateur one. To learn more about our experiences putting on a production of these proportions, why not read our His Dark Materials blog?

Coming to the stage December 2006

Performance Dates are from Thursday 14th December to Saturday 23rd December. Evening performances start at 7:30 and on both Saturdays a matinee will start at 2:30.

Casting is now underway following the auditions and is expected to be completed during the first week in February — fitting 35 actors to 130 characters is not an overnight task! However we are seeking at least another 35 people to support the production from off-stage, including people to start now to produce the set, costumes and props. During the production run we will need another 10+ technical crew, so there are opportunities for anyone who wants to be involved.
