Young actresses are invited to audition for this year's pantomime at Canterbury's Marlowe Theatre.

This year's show is Jack And The Beanstalk, starring EastEnders actress Samantha Womack and CBeebies’ Mister Maker, aka Phil Gallagher.

Girls aged between eight and 15 (inclusive) are needed for the juvenile ensemble, and auditions are taking place at the theatre on Sunday, September 15.

The session runs from 11.30am to around 1.45pm, and a routine will be taught on the day.

Girls are asked not to take along any food or drink other than water, and they must wear comfortable clothes and soft/dance shoes.

A total commitment to the pantomime, from the rehearsal period to the end of the run (November 10 to January 12), is required from all successful applicants.
