ORVIN – CHAMPION OF CHAMPIONS – Casting Workshop Announced

We are pleased to announce that this year’s Christmas play will address a request that has been made by many members, time and again: that Entity, after having mastered various dramatic forms, should, for the first time in its 27-year history, at last do a musical. 

Suffice it to say, the long wait is over – the time is finally upon us: this December we are going to embark on an all-out musical adventure and present ORVIN – CHAMPION OF CHAMPIONS, an epic musical of accidental heroism, by Alan Ayckbourn with music by Denis King.

ORVIN will be a massive production full of musical fun, thrills and spectacle. Expect gods and monsters, kings and princes, gallant heroes and dastardly villains, not to mention beautiful princesses and damsels in varying states of distress. 

ORVIN – CHAMPION OF CHAMPIONS will premiere in December 2026 at Einstein Kultur. Rehearsals will start in September, the casting workshop will take place in late July.

The show will be directed and produced by Jeremy McCowatt, co-directed by Barrett Jones and stage-managed by Birgit Mueller.

We are thrilled to announce the casting workshop will take place at MUCCA Kommandoraum on 26 July and you can sign up here.

As constant readers of our newsletter will know, this particular production will see us broadening our range and boldly venturing into uncharted territory and hitherto unexplored realms – to wit, the world of the MUSICAL.

As you may well imagine, we need all the help we can get – namely yours ! Don’t dither, don’t dawdle, sign up right now and join us in our noble quest to bring music to the masses.

And just in case you don’t see yourself as the new Pavarotti : rest assured, there are both singing and non-singing parts on offer. Take the plunge ! Join the adventure !

We added a little FAQ to our sign-up sheet to try and answer the most pertinent questions. If you should have any further inquiries, please write to jeremy.mccowatt@entitytheatre.org
