Christmas would not be the same without The Alban Arena’s annual pantomime and now girls aged between eight and 15 have a chance to join the cast. This year’s star-studded, spectacular all-singing and dancing production is the magical, mystical Aladdin, which promises to conjure up a whole host of treasures for all the family. Those wishing to audition should bring comfortable clothes and soft/dance shoes, plus drinking water. The routine will be taught on arrival.
