AUDITIONS for youngsters who could become part of the cast of this year's pantomime at the Thameside Theatre will be held early next month.

Polka Dot Productions will be staging Beauty and the Beast from 2 December to 8 January and are currently looking to recruit young people to be in the chorus.

Polka Dot say: "This year we are looking for an all singing, all dancing chorus of young people who are full of personality and can move well, aged between 9 and 18 years of age. To take part in our pantomimes, you must be aged 9 before 1 September 2022 and under 18 years."

There will be three teams of young people to take part on a rota basis during the show's run.

Auditions for Beauty and the Beast in Grays are on Saturday 10 September from 10am to 1.30pm.
