We are looking for hardworking, enthusiastic, talented actors for this season’s pantomime "Beauty and the Beast". West Midlands Childrens Theatre is one of the oldest companies in the business, bringing joy to thousands of school children across the UK and Ireland each year and we need more versatile actors to join us!

A typical tour with us is lots of fun, as we work Monday to Friday in school times with only the occasional Saturday show! We also provide all self-catering accommodation and travel to and from each venue, during the rehearsals and touring period.

Each team of 3 actors will be given a tour van for the duration of their contract, and as we use hire vans they are usually no more than 2/3 years old- so a pleasure to drive! We will be casting at least two drivers per team, who will receive an additional drivers fee for undertaking their fair share of the driving.

Auditions to take place in Wolverhampton in September

Strong versatile actors to play a variety of roles, preferably with a love of pantomime and performing to children- there is a lot of interaction with the audience so each actor must be quick witted and good at improv.

Each actor in the company is expected to assist with get-in's & out's at the venues, set up and take care of the equipment and work well with their team.

Various start dates available throughout November but all contracts will run throughout December and will finish on Friday 18th December. Please do not apply if you are not available in December!!

A valid enhanced DBS is required, preferably registered on the update service. Please let us know if you have one already, or if you are willing to obtain one at your own expense.

Particularly keen to hear from actors who are drivers, over the age of 23 with 2 years driving experience! A drivers bonus is paid for those who do their fair share. Please state in your cover letter if you drive and how long you have held your license for.

Actors are paid weekly by bank transfer on a self employed basis. Weekly rates from £450-£495 (depending on experience, drivers fee, company manager fee, etc.) plus, an additional bonus, paid on completion of the tour, for each show completed. We provide self catering accommodation throughout the rehearsal and touring period
