Want to be in a pantomime? Oh no you don't! Oh yes you DO!

The award-winning Little Wolf Entertainment who partner with Derby LIVE in producing pantomimes at Derby Arena are looking for local talented performers to join the company as ensemble members, appearing on stage at Derby Arena in December.  

Morgan Brind and Alan Bowles from Derby based Little Wolf Entertainment said: “We are hugely excited to bring open Adult Ensemble auditions to Derby Arena for this year’s production of Cinderella. This is the first time we have been able to hold open call adult ensemble auditions. Having previously run open calls for the Junior Ensemble, we are pleased to offer a platform for performers, who are currently undertaking or have completed performance-based training and are looking for the perfect pantomime role.”

Ensemble members will dance and sing, appearing as a wide range of supporting characters and in some cases, understudy lead roles. Auditions are open to anyone 18 and over. However, applicants must have strong dance skills, as this is a key part of the role.

Being part of Adult Ensemble is a great opportunity but involves a lot of hard work and commitment and is a full-time position. You must be able to attend every rehearsal and performance. The position is paid with allocated days off.

To participate, you will need to be free for both rehearsals and performances from Monday 18th November to Tuesday 31st December. To find out the details, including the salary and how to apply, please visit the Littlewolf website. 

The award-winning team at Little Wolf Entertainment alongside Derby LIVE, have been bringing the magic of pantomime to Derby Arena for the past eight years. Well-known for their stunning productions, with glittering sets and costumes, the chance to be in Cinderella is not to be missed.

Adult Ensemble auditions will be held at Derby Arena on Monday 2nd September at 10:00am. Applicants will need to register online. The audition will consist of a dance call in the morning and an invited singing call in the afternoon. Please bring sheet music, no backing music will be accepted.
