Current CADS production
Let's all have a ball!
It's that time of year again when we start to get ready for pantomime! The show for 2027 is Cinderella, in a version by the ever reliable and hugely popular Warren McWilliams. Patrick Key is making his debut as Director and Louise Atkins is, as ever, our Musical Director.
Auditions for the principal adult roles took on Thursday 1 October and full details are shown below Separate auditions for the other ensemble roles (adults and juniors over 12 years of age) will take place between 7.00 and 7.30 p.m. in the main hall at King James Academy Royston on Monday 19 October. There'll also be an open meeting for potential techies and helpers at 7.30 p.m. on the same evening in the dining area outside the main hall.
