Hall For Cornwall has revealed the first details of this year's Christmas show and are inviting children who'd like to be involved to register now for an audition next month.

From the creative team that brought you hit shows Dick Whittington and his Mousehole Cat! and Jack and the Beanstalk, Hall For Cornwall will this year be staging Sleeping Beauty. Edward ‘Kernow King’ Rowe and Granville Saxton return in the show, the final chapter in a trilogy of adventures featuring much loved Cornishman, Kenwyne and his extended family.

Auditions for children to star in Sleeping Beauty will take place on Saturday, 9 September 9. HFC is looking for two teams of children, plus reserves. Previous dance and drama experience is not required, they are looking for "raw talent, energy and enthusiasm." A spokesman added: "Being involved is great fun, as well as offering valuable experience of appearing in a professional show."

There is no requirement to rehearse anything specific in preparation for the audition. The essential requirement is that any child must be at least nine-years-old by November 30, 2017 and not reach their 16th birthday before January 1, 2018.

Those wishing to audition must pre-book a place in a specified time slot beforehand. There are a limited amount of places and these will be issued on a first come, first served basis. The hall will be unable to admit anyone turning up on the day without a pre-booked slot.

There will be several audition sessions in the afternoon, with recalls scheduled for 4pm. Reserve a place by calling the box office on 01872 262466.
