APPLICATIONS are open for young performers to join the cast of Dick Whittington in the panto later this year.
Twelve young performers aged 12-17 will be chosen from those who audition, and the role will involve dancing and acting plus singing in the larger ensemble numbers.
It is an opportunity to perform with a professional acting company and production team.
Wiltshire Creative’s Artistic Director Gareth Machin said: “It was brilliant to bring panto back to Salisbury in 2022 and 2023 will see us building on that success.

“Dick Whittington is one of the great panto stories and, penned by the same writers as Cinderella, promises to be a spectacular, fresh, and sparkly production full of music, dance, and laughter. The young company will be right at the heart of the production, working closely with our talented professional cast bringing festive cheer to our city.”
The pantomime has been written by Plested, Brown and Wilsher and will run from Saturday, November 25 2023 – Sunday, January 7, 2024.
Auditions will take place on Saturday, July 1 at Salisbury Playhouse and audition applications will remain open until 5pm on Monday, June 26.
Forms can be submitted via Survey Monkey.
