Auditions for Panto of The Opera!

Date/Time
Thu 1st August
7:30 pm - 10:30 pm

Location
Somerset House

Our 2024 production is set to be our biggest yet. We have a great new venue and are so excited to get started. We’re hoping to see some old faces and some new – we’re a friendly bunch so please do come along and audition, even if you’ve never been involved with CADS before. We’d love to meet you!

Show week is Monday 25th to Saturday 30th November 2024, so don’t forget to keep those dates free. Rehearsals are likely to be mainly Tuesday and Thursday evenings in the Clifton area, but you may be called to the occasional Wednesday and Saturday rehearsal. You’ll have the opportunity to flag any dates you are away while signing up for an audition, and we will try our best to be flexible where we can.

We are running in person auditions on Monday 29th July at the Highbury Vaults and Thursday 1st August at Somerset House.

The audition slots are 10 minutes long. All you’ll need is to read the attached audition pieces – come prepared to read two or three, depending on the part/s you are interested in. Audition pieces and character summaries can be found here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1JxDK9-erZ_KP14QpfSlM6WdTeozIpn-S?usp=drive_link

You’ll also need to prepare a short amount of singing – we are just looking for a verse and chorus, and singing Happy Birthday is always an option. We just need to get some idea of your singing ability.

As always, we aren’t just looking for actors. If you’re interested in other areas of production, please do get in touch directly to discuss. We’d love to have you on board!

If you can’t make an audition, but you’re still interested in taking part, please reply to this email directly.

We’re looking forward to hearing from you soon,

The Panto of the Opera Production Team
