I started this month of Good Causes by helping promote my local theatre’s Panto Jack and the Beanstalk<\/a>. Well they’ve helped me out with a Guest post about the Children. The children were not present at the read through and I was interested in how they fit it around school, and how much work they have to do.<\/p>\n

The Chorus<\/strong><\/p>\n

Every year The Roses holds open auditions for young people aged 8 \u2013 16 to have the chance of a life time to perform in the annual Christmas pantomime.<\/p>\n

\u00a0This year saw over sixty young people from Gloucestershire and close on the borders in Herefordshire and Worcestershire come flocking to the theatre on Saturday 8 September full of both nerves and excitement as they waited in anticipation to try their very best when the time came.<\/p>\n

\"Chorus<\/a>
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

Once registered and everyone was ready, the young people said goodbye to their parents as they made their way for the first time onto The Roses main stage ready for the audition process to start. After a comprehensive warm up, the auditionees had to get to grips fast with a dance routine in order to be a cut above the rest when it came down to the final decision.<\/p>\n

\u00a0The work and concentration of the audition room however, is nothing compared to the efforts and dedication needed by the young people throughout the rehearsal process. Weeks of evenings work, that often run late into the night, followed by time off school in the run up to opening night, are merely an introduction to the commitment that follows once the show is up and running.<\/p>\n

\"Chorus<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0Two performances a day, every other day, for a period of five weeks, with the only day off being Christmas Day is draining for the professional cast, let alone a team of young people new to the trade, experiencing their first dab at professional theatre. Yet despite their tired bodies, the rings around their eyes and the lethargy in their limbs, the show must go on, and everyone must summon up the same energy levels they had on their very first audition with all the enthusiasm that is needed to make an unbeatable performance.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Giving young people this once in a life time opportunity is just one in a number of examples of how The Roses nurtures the young people of the community it serves. We are recognised as a flagship venue of the county as a venue who gives many sectors of the community opportunities that it they would not otherwise have.<\/p>\n
