Auditions will take place on Sunday, July 24, at the Pavilion Arts Centre in Buxton.

There will be a weekend rehearsal from October 14 to 16, then rehearsals will run intensively from November 17 to December 9 before the show opens on December 10 for a three-week run, ending on January 1.

The 30 juvenile performers chosen will have to miss some days of school and during the show’s run the cast and chorus will be split into two teams, taking part in alternate performances. A small contribution towards expenses will be payable for each performance.

Parents should call Pat Russell on 01298 72050 to ask for a registration form or download a form from the website at www.
