Callbacks

King Street Theatre (inside Fort McMurray Composite High School)

Some actors may be invited to a callback. Callbacks are a normal part of the process and allow the Director to explore different pairings and potential roles. Not receiving a callback does not mean you weren’t cast, it simply means the Director had everything they needed from your initial audition.

In Our Husband Has Gone Mad Again, award-winning Nigerian playwright and theatre director Ola Rotimi takes a comic swipe at ideological misfits and opportunists who strut the ever-accommodating political landscape of contemporary Africa.

The play is hilarious but poignant; following Major Lejoka-Brown, a political misfit who decides to tackle the arena of politics using his experiences in military combat and beneath the comedy is a story of strong, intelligent women who challenge expectations and often prove to be the wisest people in the room.
