Actors are invited to audition for one of the city’s top pantomimes.

Tip Top Productions in Chester are holding auditions for Dick Whittington which will be performed at The Forum Studio Theatre.

This will be the eighth pantomime at the city centre venue and will be directed by Steve Davies.

Steve, musical director Craig Price and choreographer Rhian Underwood are looking for performers to take the roles of Dick Whittington, Idle Jack, Sarah the Cook, Alice Fitzwarren and all of the characters from the popular panto. There will also be auditions for a chorus of dancers on the same evening.

Steve said: “With over forty performances throughout December we will consider casting more than one person in each role so that they can share the workload.

“It’s a wonderful venue and particularly great for younger audiences coming to see a pantomime for the first time as the action is going on all around them.”

Auditions will be held at The Forum Studio Theatre from 7pm on Wednesday, September 9. Details are available on the company’s website, www.tiptopproductions.co.uk
