Our acting and singing auditions for principal roles are on Monday 18th and Thursday 21st May at 7:30pm.
Audition pieces will be provided prior to the auditions to those who have completed an Enrolment Form.
Marie, our Musical Director, will teach a standard audition song. However, if you have a song prepared that you would like to sing, you’re more than welcome to do so – this will be limited to a maximum of 60 seconds/one verse, one chorus. Feel free to play your own backing track or instrument to accompany yourself. If you are using a backing track, please make sure to have it ready to go at the exact point you wish it to start from when it is your turn to audition.
If you would like to do an acting audition and would rather not sing, or vice-versa, that’s no problem.
NOTE: You must be in secondary school or upwards to attend our auditions for principal roles, core dancers, or to be part of the main chorus (this includes students beginning first year in 2026).
If you or your child are considering auditioning for this year's Christmas Pantomime, please ensure you complete an Enrolment Form by 8th May. More audition information will be sent to those who register.
Rehearsals will be on Mondays (principals), Thursdays (full cast for singing & dancing) and Sundays (full cast), with dance rehearsals for core dancers and rehearsals for primary school children on Saturdays. Please ensure you can commit to the above prior to registering.
Principal, adult chorus, and core dancer rehearsals will begin around the 3rd week of August, with Sunday rehearsals starting mid to end of September. Children’s chorus rehearsals will begin around the last week of September. All details will be sent directly to everyone who completes an Enrolment Form.
