We are thrilled to announce auditions for our upcoming Christmas pantomime tour of "Dick Whittington."

This classic pantomime will feature singing, dancing, slapstick comedy, and plenty of audience interaction. We're seeking performers who are strong singers and dancers, and who have a solid understanding of pantomime style. In addition, some venues will host adult-only shows, so performers should be comfortable with mature content and themes.

The production will tour three small-scale theaters throughout the southwest and will feature a cast of six actors and one technician. Our aim is to deliver a high-quality production, akin to a stationary show, while adapting to the touring format. This includes numerous scene and costume changes, as well as all the traditional jokes and fun you'd expect from a family-friendly pantomime. Cast members are also required to help with the setup and breakdown of the show at each venue.

Accommodations are provided in shared rooms during the tour, outside of our Devon-based operations.
