Imagine Theatre is calling for talented young people to help it bring Cinderella to Swindon's Wyvern Theatre this festive season.
Dancers aged 9-16 and in school years 4-11 will perform on stage in the Junior Ensemble.
Open auditions will be hosted on Sunday 7 July at the theatre, and will see the youngsters learn a routine and perform as a group to an audition panel.
Any child of the right age regardless of their experience can attend to try out for the show.
Award-winning pantomime producerSteve Boden, Managing Director of Imagine Theatre, said: “Ahead of each pantomime season we host open auditions across the UK to find talented youngsters to join our professional cast on stage to bring the panto magic alive.
"As much as the participants dancing ability what we really look for is that ‘something’ that brings an extra bit of sparkle to the performance, so welcome people of any ability to come along and give it a go!
"We remain one of the few UK wide panto producers who hold these open auditions as we firmly believe in offering youngsters from every background and with all levels of experience the chance to be part of pantomime and the opportunity to work in a professional company, maybe for the first time.
"Many of the stars we work with tell us that performing in the Junior Ensemble in their local pantomimes was what sparked their love of theatre and led them in their career choices.
"We have also worked with some wonderful young people in our pantomimes and have seen many go on to do wonderful things in theatre and it is our aim to continue to nurture this talent every year.”
People who think they have what it takes to bring that little bit extra to this year’s pantomime can find out more about the auditions, including further information on age and attendance requirements, at swindontheatres.co.uk or imaginetheatre.co.uk.
