This year’s pantomime at the Cambridge Arts Theatre is Aladdin, running between 9 December and 16 January. As for previous in-house pantomime productions at the theatre, open auditions for child performers are being held for the 20 boys and girls between the ages of six and 23 who will be needed.
Judging by interest shown in previous years, around 200 hopeful youngsters will be hoping to take part. Places are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis so – if you haven’t already done so – now and not tomorrow is the time to apply.
