OH yes they are – Coventry and Warwickshire kids are invited to open auditions for this year’s pantomime at the Belgrade Theatre.
The theatre has begun its search for the Junior Chorus of this year’s pantomime, Beauty and the Beast.
Youngsters aged nine to 16 from across Coventry and Warwickshire are invited to an open audition on Sunday June 21.
A total of 32 children will be selected to be part of the show, making up three teams of eight, plus one full team of reserves.
Parents of young hopefuls are asked to bring their children to the Belgrade Theatre foyer for registration at 9.30am. From 10am, children will be taught a dance routine which they will perform in front of writer, director and Panto Dame, Iain Lauchlan.
Initial auditions will take place in the morning, with successful candidates recalled for a second round during the afternoon.
No prior experience of performing is necessary.
Auditionees must wear comfortable clothing and shoes that are easy to move and dance in. At least one parent or guardian must wait on-site with each child.
Chosen performers and their parents/guardians will be asked to stay after the audition until no later than 7pm.
Iain Lauchlan said: “I am excited to see the wonderful talent we have in Coventry. Please come and show me what you can do and enjoy the day. You know how amazing you are.”
The show runs from November 18 to January 2.
