Upcoming Casting

We are currently casting both acting and backstage roles for our next show 'Panto Town is Falling Down'. Although the majority of performing roles have been gendered, this was purely done for ease of script writing. All roles can be changed to suit whatever gender preference you have. There is no formal audition process to go through, and don't worry if you don't get the part you were hoping for, we will swap the size of roles and character roles around each production, so everyone gets a chance to be the STAR. Don't worry if you think you don't fit the role that you want or that you can't sing or dance ( little secret, the director can't either) it makes it all the more fun.
