A chance for youngsters to perform in panto at Peterborough theatre

Young hopefuls are invited to the open auditions on September 5 for the chance to perform in the annual extravaganza which runs at The Cresset from December 11 to 30.

Once again, the theatre and production company are looking for some talented youngsters to star alongside an all-star professional cast in this year’s show!

The theatre is on the lookout for enthusiastic and talented young performers, both male and female, who love to dance and perform, and are confident moving on stage and following choreography and direction.

They’re also looking for young actor / singers for the ensemble – dance training is not essential, so long as you’re confident on stage with good movement and performance ability.

A spokesperson said: “This is a great opportunity to be part of a professional production and experience the magic of panto from the stage! You’ll also gain valuable performance experience, make new friends and have a lot of fun.”
