URGENT! IPADS Next Generation are looking for a young dancer to take on the role of choreographer for our upcoming musical. While we would ideally like someone within the specified age range, a few years either way is ok. Please get in touch if you are interested, or share this with anyone you know who may be.

A sneaky look at part of our script! Could you play Alice or Lorina in ‘Wonderland Rewritten’ to be performed in Icklesham on the 4th and 5th of September? We have roles for both Young Alice and Lorina, and then grown up Lorina! But what about a grown up Alice? Come to the auditions on the 14th and 17th of April to try and figure out what happens to her once she goes down the rabbit hole! More information can be found in the audition pack in our bio. Please fill in the form in bio to let me know you will be coming to audition!

I am beyond excited to be announcing a brand new show tomorow! For those of you who don’t know IPADS Next Generation- we are a small theatre group based in Icklesham that is run entirely by young people. Our goal is to inspire and support the next generation of actors to grow and have their own ideas within the performances. Members of the cast are encouraged to come forward with their own idea and have much more agency than they would in a traditional show where there is often an age hierarchy. Unlike a normal youth theatre, we do EVERYTHING ourselves- no adults allowed! Well, unless you’re a chaperone, but the heath and safety bits are boring anyway!

The script has been written by myself and I will ale be directing the show- I’m 19! This is the second show we have put on and we’re looking for more enthusiastic young people to come and get involved! You don’t necessarily need to perform- there are lots of backstage jobs also up for grabs!

As a smaller company, the support is really appreciated. The show will be in the first week of September, and auditions will be in the week beginning the 13th of April! Make sure to tag anyone who may be interested and come back tomorrow to see what the show will be!

I am so excited to be welcoming a brand new show to IPADS Next Generation very soon! We only have a week to go! There are lots of fun roles available, ranging from singing, to dancing, to even back stage! If you are a young person near Icklesham we want YOU to help make this production fabulous! We are run entirely by young people- and it’s such a collaborative effort, so no matter what you think you can contribute, we’re ready to welcome you! theatre theatre
