We would love to see you come and audition for our 2016 Christmas show which, this year, is the magical CINDERELLA! We are delighted to welcome Adam Stafford (James and the Giant Peach, Just So and Oliver!) to the team as the new Director for our Christmas show. Also returning are our pantomime regulars, Ann Ogden as the Choreographer and Tim Cumper as the Musical Director.
We are looking for flexible young performers who will dance, sing and act in this exciting new pantomime! We need to put together 3 teams of 10-12 versatile young people making a total of up to 30! Wow, that’s a lot! Specifically, we are looking for performers with strong acting skills who can also sing & dance, these range from young (7+yrs) to mid teenage (14-15yrs), and older dancers (14yrs-18yrs).
If you have auditioned for us in the past you will notice that there are some changes this year, so please check that you read ALL the information below.

2) What do I need to bring with me?

- Make sure you wear clothes that are suitable for dancing and physical movement!
- No outdoor shoes or trainers are allowed in the Bracknell Gallery, but you can audition in bare feet.
- Bring a bottle of water. The auditions are very energetic and you will get hot and thirsty!
3) What will I do during the auditions?
- Unlike previous years we are asking you to prepare a short monologue, speech or poem to perform as part of the audition. It should be around 30 seconds long. Adam would also like you all to come with three jokes each to tell the audition panel!
- You will also be taught a short piece of dance by Ann, the choreographer, and will have an opportunity to sing a song with Tim, the Musical Director.
