Budding young performers from across Warwickshire are being given the chance to attend open auditions for the chorus for Coventry Belgrade’s panto Aladdin.

Children aged between 9 and 16 can audition at the Belgrade from 10AM on Sunday 31 August.

Writer/director Iain Lauchlan said, “I’m looking for 24 enthusiastic, young performers. Last year’s auditions attracted many talented young people and we’re hoping this year will be one of our biggest turnouts yet.

“What I’m looking for most of all is personality and enthusiasm. It may be that your child is passionate about dancing or has always dreamed of performing live on a professional stage. Whatever your performance background, we’re keen for you to come along and share your talent.”

Children wishing to audition should complete and return a copy of the registration form and equalities document available for download from the Belgrade Theatre web site. Completed forms should be sent to Denise Duncombe via e-mail at [email protected] or posted to Denise Duncombe (admin manager), Belgrade Theatre, Belgrade Square, Coventry, CV1 1GS.

Aladdin runs on the Belgrade’s main stage from 26 November until 10 January.
