We are delighted to be able to finally reveal our youth show this year - "Children of Eden Jr". The music is by Stephen Schwartz (Wicked, Godspell, Pippin) and as Kim Wood put it "is divine". Choreography will be by the amazing Amy Potts. Auditions are this weekend, with final auditions and recalls - 6th February (am). More details and application forms here: www.enchantingproductions.co.nz

It's also not too late to sign up for our all-aged production of "Sweet William or Born to Be Bard" by Neill Pickard QSM- our fabulously fun semi-pro show which begins rehearsals in May. Auditions are also this weekend and we have some times still available. Why not do a show with your child or teenager? Great bonding experience! Especially looking for more men. Be part of the vibrant arts scene in Christchurch and perform at the beautiful venue The Piano!

Fans of the fabulous singers in our "Frozen: Kids" and "The Sound of Music: Youth Edition" this year, might like to know we've recently formed an Enchanting Productions Christmas Carols Choir! We sang at the Christmas Show Parade, and are also singing in retirement villages and the hospital. If you'd like to catch one of our public appearances though, we'll be singing at The Palms today at 12.30pm (near Farmers), next Saturday (20th) at 2.30pm at St Michael and All Angels, and The Church Pub at 5pm on Christmas Eve. Come and hear a mixture of carols- medieval to modern- sung in four parts with lots of beautiful solos!
