Audition for “Trivial Pursuits”

SYNOPSIS: A summer evening’s BBQ is the setting for a meeting of the Trealaw and District Operatic Society. Next season’s play is to be announced by Nick, the Society’s Business Manager, who has promised a different show and the plum role to four different people. As the evening progresses each character’s foibles and talents are revealed.
