Kids Auditions for Pinocchio

Auditions will take place on October 6th from 11AM – 12:30PM at the SIK studio.. 

Auditions are open to students aged 6+

As is the case with our classes, auditions will begin promptly. We will finish with a Q & A session for parents at 12:00PM. Students who wish to audition will not need to prepare anything, we will have a short session that includes a little singing, a little dancing and role play..

There are limited spaces in the Kids Chorus and we will not be able to offer places to all those who audition. Performance skills as well as behaviour will be taken into account when casting. Those successful will be notified by the evening of October 7th, (via email to parents), that they have made it into the pantomime cast and which performance group they will be in.

Costumes

All of the children will be classic toys in Geppetto’s woodshop who are brought to life for a short while by the Blue Fairy. Each child taking cast will be required to produce their own costume for the show. 

Children will be able to choose their specific costume design, (which will be discussed with parents during the Q & A session post audition.)  Costumes should lean toward classic toys; jack-in-the-boxes, dolls, teddy bears, wooden toys etc. (not super heroes or more modern toys). Children will have an opportunity to design and create basic ideas for their costumes during the early rehearsals but will of course need parents support to complete their final costumes for performance.
