Pickering Musical Society is holding open auditions for next year's pantomime.

The panto will be Robinson Crusoe and auditions will be held on Sunday, April 21, from 7pm at the Kirk Theatre.

Junior Chorus (8-15 years) will be auditioned first at 7pm prompt. All children must be accompanied by an adult for the duration of their time in the theatre.

Adult Chorus (16+) will be auditioned from 7.30pm. Principal roles will then be auditioned after the adult chorus from 7.30pm.

The Junior and Adult Chorus will not be asked to sing alone, but in small groups of four to six people.

A spokesperson said: "We aim to keep the auditions concise, but if demand is high, please be prepared to wait.

"We look forward to welcoming new and existing members of the society.

"If you would like to take part in the junior or adult chorus and you are already a member of Pickering Musical Society you do not need to audition. However, please let Luke Arnold know you would like to take part by contacting him at luke@kirktheatre.co.uk
