We are looking for enthusiastic young performers to make up two teams of six Young Chorus members for our 2025 professional winter pantomime, Beauty and the Beast. 

Our Young Chorus will perform in several dance numbers and will be involved as an ensemble in larger group scenes. The Young Chorus will also be encouraged to sing during several of the songs, so we are looking for strong all-round performers. 

Successful Young Chorus members will be expected to attend all rehearsal dates above. The two teams will rotate, taking turns to perform on the dates listed. This commitment will include missing some days from school and the theatre will work with you to get appropriate permissions from school in order to apply for a Performance License from your local council. 

ATTIRE 

We ask that all Young Chorus members provide their own basics including: 

• Black jazz/dance shoes 

• Black leotard 

• Black tights 

If selected, we will send links with some of the best options. All other costumes and props required for the performances will be provided. 

COMMITMENT 

Although the pantomime is a great experience for the Young Chorus it is an unpaid role and a huge commitment at a busy family time. Please understand that once you are chosen you are committing to a professional agreement between yourself and Lawrence Batley Theatre. Unfortunately, we will not be in a position to swap people around if you have other plans or commitments. Please keep this in mind before applying to be part of the team. 

QUESTIONS? 

If you have any questions about the application, the audition process or taking part in the production get in touch with Rebecca Winwood, Head of Participation, at rebecca@thelbt.org who will do her best to support you and your child.
