9.45 am registration for 10am start

Are you between 8 and 16 years old, enjoy singing and dancing and want to join the cast of Cinderella? Auditions for our pantomime chorus are on Sunday 12 September.

Please bring children to the theatre foyer where they will be registered for the auditions. At least one parent or guardian is asked to wait with each child as Imagine Theatre Ltd cannot be held responsible for any child not accompanied by a responsible adult while at the auditions.

Age group - no younger than 8 years to no older than 16 years on the day of the auditions.

Please wear comfortable clothing and shoes suitable to dance in, and bring a drink (not fizzy). The audition day will be in two parts.

• In the morning, all children will be auditioned. Those who are successful in the morning will be asked to return for a recall in the afternoon. Those children who are unsuccessful will be allowed to go home
• Those then recalled for the afternoon auditions, will be kept until the final decisions on the pantomime casting are made later in the afternoon.
• Parents are asked to wait in the Theatre foyer area, while their children audition.

We will be stopping for a short lunch break, and the time of this will be decided on the day, depending upon how many auditionees turn up! Please pick your child up for lunch if they are still with us and have been recalled, and bring them back at their designated recall audition time.

Those children chosen as panto babes and their parents will be asked to stay after the audition sessions for a chat about licensing and panto guidelines.

We are looking for 3 teams of babes plus one full team of reserves. Commitment will be rehearsals most weekend days and school night evenings from 13th November. Then in addition, there will be some day time rehearsals during w/c 22nd November (which does mean missing school). The run takes place from 27th November – 9th January incl, and there are 69 performances in the run, plus technical and dress rehearsals. Your child MUST be available for the whole period as no rehearsals or performances can be missed. Some performances will be during school time and children must be educationally able to miss some schooling. Every child performing requires a performance license – we co-ordinate this but need parental support to help us achieve that.

You do not have to book into this open session. On the day arrive BY NO LATER THAN 9.45am for a prompt 10am start. We look forward to seeing you on 12th September, and remember to get auditionees to bring their best smile with them!
