It will soon be time for auditions for all our pantomimes!
Make sure you book your space using the link below.
We are looking for kids with bags of energy and personality.
Acting/singing/dance ability is required but previous theatre experience is not essential.
Auditions are open to boys and girls, aged 9 - 16* (at the time of the show).
*and still in compulsory full time education (ie. in year 11)
This is your time to shine!
JUNIOR ENSEMBLE
BEING IN A LITTLE WOLF PANTOMIME - PLEASE READ CAREFULLY!
You must be available to attend rehearsals on all evenings and weekends for approximately 3.5 weeks before the show opens, therefore you may well need to tell other activities that you are not available during panto season.
No rehearsal or performance can be missed - so please think carefully before accepting your place.
We split the kids into 3 teams, and each team performs approx 1/3rd of the performances. You will need to be available for all your teams shows.
A full rehearsal and performance schedule will be sent out to successful auditionees.
All children performing need a performance license which we get from the council - you and your parents will need to help us by completing some important paperwork (which we will send out to successful auditionees).
Whilst it is not mandatory, parents are encouraged to help us out by getting a volunteer chaperone license from their local council and assisting with some light chaperone duties, alongside our professional head chaperones.
As part of the rehearsal process some unavoidable time of school is needed, and so all children must be educationally able to do this. You will need your headteacher's permission to take part.
