YOUNG performers wanting to take centre stage in this year’s Christmas pantomime Aladdin are being invited to come along to auditions.

Salisbury Playhouse is looking for two teams of six performers aged 12 to 17. Open auditions are being held at the Playhouse on Saturday, June 25 where hopefuls will be asked to sing, dance and act.

Rehearsals for Aladdin’s young company take place throughout November, including up to four evenings and a Saturday rehearsal each week. There are 50 performances across the run which takes place between December 3 and January 7.

Those wishing to audition need to complete an application form and return it to Salisbury Playhouse with a recent photograph by 9am on Monday, June 20.
