Rapunzel
Auditions:
About the Production:
At both auditions everyone will work on a song together. Anyone auditioning for principal roles will be expected to perform the song solo.
Our choreographer Hannah will teach everyone a dance routine which will then be performed.
There will be mixture of improvised chorus scenes and scripted character work.
This is a panto and so characters are not tied to gender - we are excited to see what characterisation comes through in the audition and how people bounce off each other,
We will be considering Youth Workshop members for chorus and bird roles.
We are open to double casting the chorus to avoid disappointing too many youngsters!
Commitment: we are looking for people who will be able to commit to the rehearsal period of 2 weekday evenings and regular Sunday afternoons starting late October.
Panto Sparkle: We are looking for this to be evident throughout the audition.
We look forward to the audition.
