This year's Annual Christmas Pantomime is an adaptation of The Nutcracker written by Jade Marie and will be directed by Nifemi Wilson-Adu with Ena Chiara Teglovic as the assistant director. 

The auditions will take place 7-10pm the 11th and 12th of October in Black Box (room 5S.4.5). You only have to attend one day of auditions.

The panto will run from the 14th to the 16th of December in Lakeside Theater so if you are auditioning you have to be available to perform all three days.

We'd love to see loads of new and old faces come and audition. There is no previous experience needed - just bring yourself and come prepared with a song from the song list below you will audition with.
