Auditions for 'The Count of Monte Cristo'

Revenge. Betrayal. Redemption.
The Count of Monte Cristo is a story of one man who loses everything—and fights his way back to claim justice in an unforgettable way. There's secret identities, daring escapes, hidden treasure, and the ultimate revenge plot. If you love drama, mystery, sword fights, and characters with serious flair—this is your chance to join a story that’s larger than life.
The show will be directed by Mr Stocker, and will run in the Middleton Theatre in the Camberwell Grammar School Performing Arts Centre from 6-8 May 2026.
