The Daily Echo is looking for reliable readers with a love of the theatre to join the Curtain Call review team.

If you know about theatre and can express your opinion about a show - good or bad - in the written word, we want to hear from you.

You must be able to commit to seeing at least two shows a month, be able to drive and have access to e-mail.

The present Curtain Call team of reviewers has already seen over 70 shows this year varying from small village hall productions to full-scale shows at the Nuffield Theatre, Southampton and Ferneham Hall, Fareham.

Their opinions will go towards choosing those lucky people who will win an award at next year's glamorous Oscars-style ceremony - The Curtain Call Awards. You could join this team from January 2004.

If you think you know what makes good amateur theatre, we want to hear from you.

For an initial application, please e-mail Tracie Billington-Beardsley, using the link above, with your age, occupation and a brief background about what kind of theatre shows you like to see and any relevant experience you may have in am-dram - on or off stage - by Friday, 14th November.
