Have you ever wanted to be on the stage? Then here's your chance to audition for the Harlequin Theatre's annual pantomime, Aladdin. For this year's spectacular show the Harlequin Theatre, Redhill, will be looking for young, local dancers to take part in the classic rags to riches tale of Aladdin and his magic lamp.

The successful dancers will have the opportunity to dance alongside The Bill's DC Jim Carver, alias Mark Wingett, as he journeys from Sun Hill to Redhill to make his debut in pantomime as the evil Abanazar. Francis and Wheatley who were such hits last year as Egor and Muddles will be back with more zany humour.

The company needs: l Trained dancers, minimum age eight years (by December 5) with an upper age limit of 16 (must not be 17 by January 8, 2006).

l Junior Dancers: eight to 12 years, should be trained in ballet and jazz.

l Senior Dancers: 13-16 years, should be trained in ballet, jazz and tap.

All dancers should be local to the area and able to commit from December 5 to January 8.

Dancers need to bring dance shoes with them and be prepared to spend some time at the venue.
