A big break is awaiting youngsters in Dartford – with a major role in this year’s panto up for grabs.

This year’s show is Peter Pan and Strictly judge Craig Revel Horwood leads the cast as Captain Hook.

The producers are looking for four boys to share the roles of Michael and John, with auditions coming up at the end of the month.

Prospective Michaels should be no taller than 4ft6 and Johns not bigger than 4ft8, and they should be able to sing and act.

For the audition, actors will be required to perform a monologue, poem or rhyme and also be prepared to read a short excerpt from the script.

Auditions will be held at Reynolds Training Academy in Dartford at 10am on Monday, October 27.

To audition, hopefuls should pre-register by calling the Orchard Theatre on 01322 220000.
