âThere are a lot of talented blokes out there but as soon as auditions come around they go back into the woodworks,â she said.
Ms Grannall said the theatre group was fortunate to have loyal actors in their midst but were always on the lookout for new faces.
âHistorically I think itâs been difficult for men in Mackay to be able to commit to rehearsals and such as many are FIFO workers,â she said.
âBut that does seem to be changing.â
Ms Grannall said the theatre group had been running since 1947 and was celebrating its 75th anniversary next year.
