Calling all budding stars… South Hill Park needs you to join the kids cast of its famous Christmas pantomime.
If you’re aged between seven and 18 years and love singing, acting and dancing then we would love to see you come and audition for our 2017 Christmas show Beauty and the Beast.
After the success of last year’s Cinderella, we are delighted to welcome back Director Adam Stafford (James and the Giant Peach, Just So and Oliver!) to the team 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 three teams of 10-12 versatile young people making a total of up to 36! Wow, that’s a lot! Specifically, we are looking for performers with strong acting, singing and dance ability from aged seven to 18 years.

There will be six audition slots running over one weekend lasting one and a half hours each:
- Saturday 24th June: Slots at 11.00am-12.30pm AND 14.00am- 15.30pm AND 4pm-5.30pm

3) What will I do during the auditions?
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.
