• Blacksmith
• Vicar
• Tramp
• A Master of Ceremonies
The performances will take place on Saturday 16 July at the Pavilion Playing fields in Branston. You'll be working with Rhubarb Theatre who will be rehearsing on Sunday 3rd and 10th July at the Terry O Toole Theatre, North Hykeham. All the characters can be played by men or women and there will be no auditions - just first come ...
So if you are interested please contact Kirsty on 01400 275133 or email her at info@rhubarbtheatre.co.uk and let her know which character you are interested in playing and whether you can commit to all day or simply spare a morning or afternoon.
Sa Fire in Branston takes place throughout the village, incorporating existing artworks along the arts and heritage trail, new light installations in the church and on the village green as well as the amazing Lumunarium, and labyrinth situated on the Pavilion Playing Field off Moor Lane.
The artsNK team are currently working with residents and students to design, make, compose and choreograph original performances and artworks but also need
volunteers to help with stewarding, car parking and site set up during the Sa Fire weekend. If you have the energy and enthusiasm we value your skill.

Sa Fire is a series of arts events that re-tell the stories of the villages along the route of the Spires & Steeples Arts and Heritage Trail. It was launched at the end of May at Lincoln Cathedral/Bishop's Palace and will travel to Branston on 16 July before the closing ceremony in Sleaford on 29 October 2011. The festival will allow local residents to celebrate and shape what makes their community special and be a part of the national Cultural Olympiad programme.
