Chance to be a panto star

Christmas wishes will be granted for several talented young dancers in Oldham - with a chance to appear in this year’s Coliseum pantomime, “Aladdin”.

The hugely popular Coliseum panto, which attracts more than 35,000 people each year has embarked on its annual search for young cast members.

Auditions for girls aged 8-15 years old will be held at the theatre on September 14.

Auditionees must show they can dance, but don;t need to prepare anything or prove acting or singing skills. Those chosen must be free to miss school on eight full days and four half days.

Parents should contact Anne-Louise Jones on 0161-785 7001 to book an audition slot - audition tims are dependent on the child’s height, so this must be known when calling
