CALL FOR TALENTED LOCAL YOUNGSTERS TO APPEAR IN CINDERELLA AT FAREHAM LIVE THIS CHRISTMAS! As Imagine Theatre gets ready to bring Cinderella to our brand new venue this festive season, we’re shouting out a brilliant opportunity for talented young dancers aged between 9-16 and in school years 4-11 to perform on stage in the Junior Ensemble alongside TV and Dancing sensations AJ & Curtis Pritchard this festive season. The open auditions will be hosted on Sat 7th September at Fareham College. Any child of the right age regardless of their experience can attend to try out for the show and as part of the audition process they will learn a routine and perform as a group in front of an audition panel. Steve Boden, Managing Director of Imagine Theatre, the award-winning pantomime producer 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.” If you think you’ve got what it takes to bring that little bit extra to this year’s pantomime you can find out more about the auditions, including further information on age and attendance requirements here.
