Actors and dancers needed for Poole panto
Oh yes they are! Could you feature in Sleeping Beauty this Christmas
Poole's Lighthouse theatre is looking for local budding actors and dancers to be part of this year's pantomime.
They're holding open auditions for people to join the ensemble cast of Sleeping Beauty at Christmas time.
Head of Programming Tim Colegate said:
“We are looking for hard working, dedicated young dancers, who are also keen on acting and singing, to join the ensemble in our magical family pantomime, Sleeping Beauty."
The production's being created by the same team who put together the Aladdin, Cinderella and Beauty and the Beast pantos in recent years.
It's been written and directed by CBeebies star Chris Jarvis, with production design is by James Smith, choreography by Daniel Donaldson Todd and musical direction by Adam Tuffrey.
