Lichfield Garrick is seeking young performers, both male and female, to audition to be part of the juvenile cast for this year’s pantomime, Peter Pan.  The Young Company are an integral part of this, our most spectacular production, and we look forward to working with some of the most talented young performers in our area.   

We are looking for girls between the ages of 8-13 (under 5 ft 4) and boys between the ages of 9-15 with strong acting and some movement skills, though previous stage experience is not essential.  

Due to government regulations regarding COVID-19, we will be conducting auditions in a different way than we have done in the past. This year we are inviting applicants to submit videos as their audition.  

Find out how right here. Including a video audition guide and application form. All audition videos and application forms must be sent to education@lichfieldgarrick.com by Sunday 7th June.

Libby Buick recalls her time in the Juvenile Panto Cast.  

“ I have successfully auditioned for three of the Garrick pantomimes ; my first being Sleeping Beauty. Performing on stage with an amazing cast was a fabulous opportunity and a brilliant experience. The backstage crew were friendly and supportive; they were always professional and always helped us when needed.   

I made many new friends on my pantomime journey and learnt so much about theatre life. Being a member of the junior ensemble takes dedication and commitment but is also great fun and very rewarding. If anyone has the opportunity to audition for a pantomime at the Lichfield Garrick Theatre do not hesitate to do so. 

I will remember my magical Christmas’ at the Garrick as they were just the most amazing and exciting times and I look back on them fondly.”  

All Juvenile audition videos submitted to the theatre will be held securely on our network, they will only be shown to members of staff or creative staff that it is deemed necessary by the Theatre’s Safeguarding Team to do so. 

Everyone who submits an audition video should hear back from the theatre by July 2020. 

Best of Luck in your audition, we look forward to hearing from you soon!
