We are delighted to be producing a pantomime that we have never performed before. Sleeping Beauty!
After a long search and reading lots of scripts, we have decided on one which is current and very funny! A great traditional pantomime, but a refreshing break from the more conventional format, this cracking new version of Sleeping Beauty is right on the money! An extra-large portion of comedy and some very original twists and turns along the way make for a novel and artistic production.
Nurse Hettie Harpic, the puddle-brained Muddles and two hapless heralds, Fetch and Carrie, ensure the laughs come thick and fast, especially when they meet head-to-head in a hilarious schoolroom scene.
Audition registration is now available. Auditions are open – you do not need to become a member first, however there is a small audition fee for non-members. All the parts are available for audition except we have retained the comedy favourites James Windle and Jonny Tate by popular demand!
Registration closes Midnight, Sunday 25th August 2024
Audition Date : Saturday 31st August
