This Christmas, Lighthouse is ready to make wishes come true!
We’re seeking hard working, dedicated young dancers, who are also keen on acting and singing, to join the ensemble in this year’s magical family pantomime, Aladdin.
“Every year we’re so impressed by the talented young people we get to see at auditions, and I’m sure this year will be no exception,” says Tim Colegate, Head of Programming.
“We’re looking for talented individuals who show huge enthusiasm and fantastic dance and performance ability, so if you think you’ve got what it takes, do come along. It’s always a pleasure getting to see the brilliant talent that Dorset has to offer, so put the date on your diaries, and we hope to see you there.”
Aladdin is written and directed by CBeebies star Chris Jarvis with choreography by Daniel Donaldson Todd, two-time winner of the prestigious Classique de Danse award for Theater Choreography.
