All aboard!
Following the success of our 2024 production of The Dance of Death, Guild Chapel volunteers are now staging Norah's Ark.
This lively community theatre production is inspired by the medieval mystery play Noah’s Flood and the 15th century wall paintings in Stratford’s historic Guild Chapel.
To be staged during Great Big Green Week in June 2026, Norah’s Ark will present a modern medieval take on the climate crisis. While there’s a serious environmental message at the play’s heart, there’ll also be plenty of humour, spectacle and fun.
Our story will be told from the perspective of Norah, Noah’s wife, with support from a cast of colourful characters. Auditions will be held in November and registration is now open.
Auditions
We have several roles on offer. They include the leads, Norah and Noah, their daughters and their partners (supporting roles), and the smaller, but no less important, ensemble parts. Everyone will have their moment to shine. If you’d like to help bring our story to life please come along to one of our auditions.
Dates: Saturday 15th November or Saturday 22nd November 2025, 2.00pm – 5.00pm.
Venue: RSC Clore Learning Centre, Waterside, Stratford-upon-Avon, CV37 6BA.
Everyone (aged 18+) is welcome to register, whatever your experience.
