7 February 2024
Brolly Productions and Newham Music are holding auditions to find young people to join our core group of performers for our production of The Stopping Place, being performed in Summer 2024!
The Stopping Place is a powerful large scale new music theatre work drawing on music of the Roma tradition, staging the history of the Roma holocaust with a chorus, choir and orchestra drawn from secondary schools in Newham.
This year the show will be bigger than ever, with live orchestra, choir, professional performers and…you!
