Panto Pandemonium

Ben and Sarah go to the theatre to watch a pantomime, but the show is cancelled! Everything in Pantoland is in a mess, as the Wicked Witch has stolen the Good Fairy’s magic. Ben and Sarah must help put things right so they go to Pantoland to get back the Golden Goose (Jack and the Beanstalk), the Magic Slipper (Cinderella) and Aladdin’s Lamp; none of which are working properly! Once the good magic is returned to these special objects the Wicked Witch’s disruption can be put to an end. The Stirling Players are presenting this special pantomime production to be performed during the final school term for lower Primary school students. Performances will be held twice daily on 9, 10, 11 of December, on the evenings of 12 and 13 December, and a matinee on 13 December. Please Note: the pantomime is to be staged during the day, so don’t audition unless you feel you can be available for those days.

At the audition we will ask you to sing for us, so prepare a little piece. Please contact us if you have any queries. Fran Gordon (94473820) and Cassie Vagliviello (0402765935)
