Ray Rippingale, the chair of Stargazers Drama Group is appealing for residents of Kilburn, Denby and Horsley or anyone who has a strong connection with these villages (maybe through attending one of the schools) to attend auditions for the annual traditional pantomime - Aladdin.
The auditions will be from 7pm till 9pm on Monday 6th October in the Methodist Schoolroom on Chapel Street, Kilburn.
All age-groups are welcome but those under 11 must be accompanied throughout.
Stargazers needs actors, singers, dancers, acrobats, musicians and generally anyone who loves making an exhibition of themselves!
Ray comments: "It is helpful if those auditioning could bring a piece of performance with them that they have already prepared, for instance a song or series of jokes to tell or a dance, but I will provide something if they come empty handed."
Ray continues: "we welcome beginners and we always do our best to get everyone into the show, whatever their skills might be."
This is the start of a build-up to the performances of Aladdin during the half-term week in February 2009 at John Flamsteed Community School, Denby.
Anyone with queries can call Ray on 01332 882200.
