Tour Information

‘The Duffy Show’ consists of two Auckland based teams (three actors in each team) to tour for a period of approximately ten months travelling from the top of the North Island to the bottom of the South Island. Performing in Duffy schools with audience sizes ranging from 10 to 400, this is a great way to see the country while practicing your craft and getting paid. This established tour has been around for nearly 20 years and is an amazing experience for those involved.

The show will be directed by Jeff Szusterman and written by Lauren Jackson.

Each team performs The Duffy Show twice a day, five days a week, making this a great way to develop your craft and gain confidence as an actor. Actors are paid a wage with the addition of per diems and accommodation allowances when away from Auckland. Teams are provided with a touring vehicle and trailer while fuel and any other tour-related travel costs (e.g. ferries) are also covered.

The tour begins February 7th and runs through to late October/early November 2016 (date tbc) with rehearsals consisting of a script workshop in December 2016 and a four week long rehearsal block starting January 9th 2017.
