Christmas? Here's your chance to audition for next summer's shows

Young performers could be the stars of the show in Torquay’s theatre season for 2024, with auditions scheduled at the Babbacombe Theatre on Sunday, November 19 to join the venue’s show cast next year.
The production team will be looking for junior children who can sing well and dance too, as well as senior female dancers who are strong in all aspects of dance, including Ballet, Modern, Jazz & Tap.
The junior dance auditions will start at 10.30am (doors open 10.00am). The minimum age is 6 and whilst there is no maximum age, there is a strict maximum height of 4ft 9ins (144.5cm’s). The show will feature four teams of children, who will alternate performances throughout the year from February 20 – October 16.
There will be up to 18 performance dates per team on either a Tuesday or Wednesday evening. Children with other commitments, including holidays, can be accommodated. It is suggested you arrive at the audition with the dates you know your child will be unavailable, so once the selection process has been done, the children’s performance schedule can be worked to accommodate any unavailable dates.
All the children will need to sing first, and the production team are providing the backing track for the song, Naughty. They will also receive a copy of the lyrics and the original track for reference.
After the junior’s vocal audition, the choreographer will teach a short routine, that the children will be asked to perform in groups, so please be dressed to dance and bring jazz shoes or trainers.
For the senior dancer’s audition, the producer is looking for girls aged 15+, all must have a strong standard in all aspects of dance. Ballet and jazz shoes/trainers will be needed for this audition. Routines will be set in commercial dance and lyrical ballet. The girls should all be between 5ft 3ins (160cms) - 5ft 10ins (178cms). It’s worth noting the seniors are not required to sing. Dancers will need to be at the venue for 11.30am.
