Summer Youth Project 2022
WE NEED YOU!
We are looking for young performers to join our ensemble for Big The Musical! We are looking for dancers, singers, and actors. From our ensemble we will be casting roles such as the Zoltar, the moody boyfriend, Billie's parents and carnival and officer works. If you don't want a speaking part not to worry, we also need guests for the party, Josh's friends, and plenty of people at the carnival. The list really is endless.
During the two weeks you will be able to work with industry professionals and performing on a stage which has had countless professionals! If you'd like to take part please fill in the form below:

Join us for our Summer Youth Project!
Calling all young performers aged nine - 19 and young technicians aged 16 - 19. Audition for your chance to take part in a fantastic fortnight in August 2022. Spend a fortnight working with a director, choreographer and musical director to to learn the show and perform on stage for 4 shows!
The classic 1987 motion picture fantasy bursts onto the stage in the unforgettable theatrical experience, Big The Musical. Josh Baskin is sick of being an awkward kid. At a carnival, he makes a wish to the Zoltar machine to become "big". To his shock, his wish is granted. After an understandably awkward beginning, Josh is forced to do "adult" things like getting a job and a girlfriend. In the end he discovers there's much more to being an adult than he's bargained for, and learns we must all grow up at our own pace, in our own time.
Brought to you by a 130-strong community cast, the summer youth project production is bound to be BIGGER than ever!
