Auditions will be held on Monday 2nd February & Tuesday 3rd February, with rehearsals starting June 2026.

The auditioning panel is: Andrew Jenner (Director), David Yates (Musical Director), Debbie Small (Choreographer), Libby Pike (Asst. Director) and Gilly Legg (independent observer).

You may have your lib and vocal score with you during the audition.

After the last auditions have taken place, the panel will meet and we hope to let those who auditioned know the outcome asap. Once individuals have been informed we will then communicate to the wider society.
