Aspiring young actors, singers, dancers and technicians are being given the chance to perform at Dartford’s Orchard Theatre.

Every year, more than 100 young people aged nine to 19 are selected for the Orchard’s Summer Youth Project and put together a show in two weeks, this year from August 1 to 13, alongside skilled professionals.

Last year, the show was Oliver and now preparations are under way for this year’s production of Bugsy Malone. Auditions are on Sunday, March 13. Anyone wanting to audition or apply to be in the technical team, should download a form at orchardtheatre.co.uk and return it by March 8.
