Kents Cavern Christmas Casting Call

Bring the magic of Christmas to life in this years Yule time production at Kents Cavern!

We are looking for some very special actors to help create a unique festive experience. The promenade performance takes the audience on a wondrous adventure in to the depths of the cave, greeted by an array of magical characters until finally meeting the big man himself, Father Christmas.

Actors must have excellent characterisation and improvisation skills. Previous experience of working with children would be an advantage.

This is a fantastic opportunity to be a part of a very special team. There will be 8 show days running through December from the 6th to the 24th, with up to 9 shows in a day. You will be required to learn a 10-12 minute script prior to rehearsals. All actors will take on other duties during the performance days including setting up and removing props, and other behind-the-scenes work. It is important to be flexible in taking on duties and aiding other actors as necessary.

We will be casting for the roles of…

Cinnamon - The Reindeer Handler. Cinnamon is first to greet the audience and has to set the scene with an air of mysticism. M or F.

Twinkle - The Tree Fairy in Training. Twinkle is a bit accident prone, always bumbling, but kind hearted and fun. F.

Jingle and Jangle - The Elves. These two have to work well together with excellent comic timing. Fun and energetic. M or F.

Ms Cranky - Naughty or Nice Assessor. She runs a tight ship, stern but kind. F.

Father Christmas - The real deal of course. M.

If you are interested please send a CV and headshot to Hannah at…. kentscavern@gmail.com (or contact for more information). We welcome CV’s from the experienced actor through to the budding beginner.

Auditions will be held throughout October. We look forward to hearing from you.
