Theatre Royal seeks new young panto stars

AUDITIONS TO BE HELD FOR PRIMARY SCHOOL CHILDREN

- ANDY PHILLIPS

THEATRE Royal Plymouth is offering primary school children who live within a 20-mile radius the chance to be a part of this year’s pantomime, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs – and it is holding a pre-audition workshop this weekend for children new to the stage.

After the successful return of a children’s ensemble in its panto, Goldilocks and the Three Bears, last year, TRP is auditioning for 16 children to be part of the show, appearing alternately from mid-December to mid-January.

To be able to audition, children should be in Year 3 to 6, live within a 20-mile radius of the theatre, and not be taller than four feet seven inches. All those trying out should be competent in modern dance, and will be taught a routine as part of the audition.
