More information. We ask if they have a preference. All children are offered something. Obviously, how we choose which children to include is affected by how many audition, but we always explain how many children we are seeing and how many parts are available.

WOPA is the only local am-dram group to include a video in the panto. The video sets the scene for the panto; it is the back story that hopefully explains some of what happens in the panto itself. It is crucial to our production. This year, we have also included a Chorus to allow us to include even more people in the production. This is not simply a choir but more along the lines of a Greek Chorus. The Chorus will be essential to the production, as they will be involved throughout, singing songs, adding sound effects, encouraging audience interactions etc.

After the auditions we retire to discuss. There are five of us that make the casting decisions — two producers, the musical director and the two directors — and no decision is made unless we are unanimous. This means that casting can and does! We have a huge number of criteria we try to meet. Mainly, we try to get a good spread of gender and ages across the junior cast. But beyond that, especially since this is a community panto, we consider the following:.

Is the child enthusiastic about taking part? Has the child ever previously been cast in the panto and if so, how recently? Did the child take part in the video last year? Are we being inclusive? None of the above is more important than any other. We discuss each child. We all have a child we champion and that is why we have so many people involved in the casting process. In the end it has to be a consensus. This year we cast four children who were in the panto last year.

We have found that casting a few children for a second year running is often helpful. Secondly, and perhaps most importantly, a child might have a question they feel they cannot ask us about how things work etc.

Every child who is not offered a part in the panto itself is offered a part in the video and, in addition this year, 4 children have been offered a part in the Chorus. We love that the video, and now Chorus, give more opportunities to involve more people in this community initiative. And we love that so many children have been eager and excited to participate in this way, even if they may have at first been a bit disappointed not to get a part in the performances.

Casting is very hard work. No one likes to disappoint a child. Oh yes, and of course, to come and see the show! After all, ultimately, this is for you. Toggle navigation WOPA.
