An upcoming Pantomime promises to take audiences to an alternative land that lays somewhere over the rainbow …
The Wonderful Wizard of Oz pantomime is coming to the main stage at the Shaftesbury Art Centre this winter.
Written by Nigel Holmes, this unique adaptation draws from L. Frank Baum’s classic tale. Audiences will follow young Dorothy, her Aunt Em (played as the Dame), and her loyal dog Toto as they are swept away from their farm by a storm, landing in the peculiar, colourful world of Oz.
This lively pantomime is brimming with charm and fun, and featuring songs that will have you singing all the way down the yellow brick road. The show promises to be an unforgettable adventure for the whole family.
Actors needed!
The Director is on the lookout for a talented cast to bring this colourful story to life. With 15 main roles, along with opportunities for dancers and ensemble, there’s plenty of room for stars to shine—though spots for under-16s are limited.
An interest evening will be held on Tuesday, 10th September at 7:30pm at the Shaftesbury Art Centre. Whether you’re interested in performing or helping behind the scenes, this is your chance to get involved in what promises to be an exciting production. Performance dates are scheduled from 23rd-26th January and 29th January-1st February 2025.
For those unable to attend the interest evening, please contact stage@shaftesburyartscentre.org.uk to learn how you can join in the fun.
