The Galleon Auditorium has announced open auditions for this year’s magical family pantomime, Beauty and the Beastie. Youngsters aged 9–15 (school years P5-S3) are invited to audition for the show’s Junior Ensemble, offering talented local performers the opportunity to appear in this year’s spectacular festive production.
Audition Details
Auditions will take place on Saturday, August 29 at St Joseph’s Leisure Centre, where hopefuls will learn a short routine before performing in groups for the audition panel. No professional experience is required, just confidence, enthusiasm, and plenty of personality.
Opportunities for All
Steve Boden, Joint CEO and Managing Director of Imagine Theatre, added: “Every year, we’re blown away by the talent we discover at our open auditions. We firmly believe opportunities like this should be open to young people from all backgrounds, regardless of previous experience or training. What we’re really looking for are performers with energy, imagination, confidence and that extra pantomime sparkle!”
“Being part of a Junior Ensemble is a fun and formative experience in many ways. For those who wish to pursue a career in the arts, we have had a number of our Junior Ensemble members go on to professionally train and then return to work with us to perform professionally in our pantomimes.”
Widespread Participation
Imagine Theatre is one of the only large-scale pantomime producers in the UK to continue offering open auditions for its Junior Ensembles, and this year more than 300 talented young performers will appear in their productions across the UK.
