A Panto is a traditional British family theatre show, usually based on a well-known story, featuring terrible jokes, dancing and singing. It has nothing to do with the silent mime of Marcel Marceau and his ilk!
This year, we will be performing an original script based on Snow White (forget anything Disney-like), with the 6 performances taking place at the Scala Theatre (behind Starbucks on Freiestrasse) from the 4th to the 7th of December.
There are two audition sessions each on the 10th and 11th May at 10:00 and 14:00.
There are two further audition sessions on the 15th and 16th May at 19:00
The cast will number 30-40, with 17 or so named roles. Rehearsals take place in Autumn, on Tuesday and Thursday evenings.
Anyone is welcome to audition regardless of experience. We also welcome (even more) people who want to be involved with the production but not on stage - props, costumes, scenery, lights, sounds, make-up, front-of-house, stage-crew etc.
Forms and detailed information are available on from the Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/baselpanto/ (you need to ask to join as it is a closed group, but we have a very open policy). You can also get them by sending me a PM with your email address.
They will also shortly be available at www.baselpanto.org.
Participation is conditional on membership, which is 30CHF for individuals, 50CHF for families, per year. Membership means that you will be covered by our insurance.
