It's Panto time at The Oxford Playhouse!

Looking for a wonderful cast for Snow White. Local auditions have been held and we are opening to the wider community as well.

Please read carefully and flag if Oxford local.

The annual Oxford Playhouse pantomime is a much-loved part of both our organisation and the city’s cultural life, welcoming audiences of over 36,000 each year. Our pantomimes are character and plot-led, full of laughter, and feel unmistakeably Oxford. We are looking to get to know actors with comic character and improvisation skills, strong singing voices and who are confident with learning dance routines.

We actively encourage submissions from performers of all backgrounds, ethnicities, cultures, identities, abilities and lived experiences, and are committed to creating an inclusive casting process that reflects the diversity of our communities.
