The White Rock Theatre and Imagine Theatre are delighted to announce that they will hold open auditions to find their talented Junior Ensemble for this year’s magical family pantomime Cinderella. Auditions will be hosted on Sunday 18th June at the White Rock.

The auditions are being held to find young dancers aged between 9-16 and in school years 4-11 to perform this Christmas season.

Open auditions allow absolutely any child of the right age to come along and try out for the show. Theatre and the arts are an integral part of local communities, and we are delighted to be able to offer this opportunity out widely to local youngsters.

On the day, children will be taught a routine that they perform as a group to the audition panel. As well as their dancing, we do look for that little something that makes them stand out and sparkle on stage.”

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 at whiterocktheatre.org.uk or www.imaginetheatre.co.uk.
