Sleeping Beauty Children’s Auditions

The Northcott Theatre has a very special opportunity for children to rehearse and star in our iconic pantomime, Sleeping Beauty, co-produced with Le Navet Bete.

On Saturday 18th July, we will be holding fun workshop auditions to put together a team of six children aged 7 – 11 to appear in the show, alongside the professional cast.

Each selected child will perform in up to 11 shows during the run and will have spoken lines to say, as well as take part in some simple song and dance routines. We will work with the guardians of the successful children to agree which 11 performances they will perform in.

Rehearsals are mandatory and will take place:
Friday 30th October – 10am-4pm
Thursday 5th November – 4pm-6pm
Saturday 7th November -10am-2pm
Thursday 12th November – 4pm-6pm
Saturday 14th November – 10am-2pm
Friday 20th November – 6pm-10pm
Saturday 21st November – 6pm-6pm
Monday 23rd November – 6pm-10pm
Tuesday 24th November – 6pm-10pm
Wednesday 25th November – 6pm-10pm
