Excitement is already building at the Wyvern Theatre for this year’s magical production of Sleeping Beauty and now, local youngsters are being invited to be part of the festive fun on stage!
Talented young dancers aged 9–16yrs (school years 4–11) are encouraged to audition for a spot in the Junior Ensemble, performing alongside Jenny Ryan, David Ashley and Ben Goffe in this year’s spectacular pantomime.
Open auditions will take place on Sunday 13 July at the Wyvern Theatre where aspiring young performers will learn a short routine and showcase their skills in front of a panel. No previous experience is required, just energy, enthusiasm, and a love of performing.
Steve Boden, Joint CEO of Imagine Theatre, the award-winning producer behind the show, said: “Every year, we hold open auditions across the UK to discover fresh young talent to join our professional pantomime casts. We’re not just looking for technical ability, we want to see personality, stage presence, and that special spark that lights up a performance.
“These opportunities are at the heart of what we do. We're proud to remain one of the few nationwide pantomime producers committed to open auditions, because we believe every young person should have the chance to experience the magic of panto from the stage, no matter their background or experience.
“Many young people who’ve joined our Junior Ensembles have gone on to careers in the industry and it all started with that first audition.”
