Oh yes it is! It is that time of year again! 🎭

We’re kicking off our brand-new pantomime season next weekend, and we want YOU to join the chaos!

We’ve got a fantastic pantomime lined up so we’re hosting our Readthrough and Casting Workshop next Friday and Sunday, and our doors are wide open for fresh faces.🌟

What to Expect….

📖 The Readthrough:

Friday 11th September
7pm at United Reformed Church Hall

A completely relaxed, laugh-out-loud session where we sit down together and read through the script for the very first time. No pressure, just fun!

👑 The Casting Workshop:

Sunday 13th September
2pm at The Institute

This is a chance to play and try out different characters and scenarios and meet other cast members. We promise there are no terrifying, X-Factor-style auditions here.🎭

We’re looking for……

On-Stage Stars: Heroes to cheer, villains to boo, and everything in between.

Backstage Heroes: Crew, lighting, sound wizards and set builders.

Creative Minds: Costume designers, makeup artists, and prop makers.

Front of House: Friendly faces to greet our lovely audiences and help with the raffle and refreshments.

Bring a friend, bring your energy, and let's make this panto season unforgettable. See you there! 👋✨
