CALL FOR TALENTED LOCAL YOUNGSTERS TO APPEAR IN BEAUTY AND THE BEAST AT DE MONTFORT HALL THIS CHRISTMAS
As De Montfort Hall gets ready to bring Beauty and the Beast to Leicester this festive season, a call has been put out for talented young dancers aged between 9-16 and in school years 4-11 to perform on stage in the Junior Ensemble.
Steve Boden, Joint CEO and Managing Director of Imagine Theatre, added: “Every year, we’re blown away by the talent we discover at our open auditions. We firmly believe opportunities like this should be open to young people from all backgrounds, regardless of previous experience or training. What we’re really looking for are performers with energy, imagination, confidence and that extra pantomime sparkle!”
“Being part of a Junior Ensemble is a fun and formative experience in many ways. For those who wish to pursue a career in the arts, we have had a number of our Junior Ensemble members go on to professionally train and then return to work with us to perform professionally in our pantomimes.”
