Budding young performers in Warwickshire are being given the chance to audition for Coventry Belgrade’s panto Beauty and the Beast.

The Belgrade will be holding auditions on Sunday 6 September from 10AM which are for children aged from nine to 16. The theatre is looking for three teams who will make up the chorus as well as a team of reserves.

Writer/director Iain Lauchlan said, “I’m looking for 24 enthusiastic young performers. Last year’s auditions attracted one of our biggest crowds and we’re hoping this year will be an even greater success.

“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. I’m really looking forward to seeing what young talent is out there waiting to be discovered this year.”

Beauty and the Beast runs on the Belgrade’s main stage from Wednesday 25 November until Saturday 9 January 2016.
