Cast members under the age of 18 will not perform in all eight performances. Instead, they will be divided into two teams and will perform in alternate shows.
We will always ensure that siblings are placed in the same team.
We will also endeavour to keep those who share transport arrangements together wherever possible. We will consider requests on an a case by case basis, this cannot be guaranteed, as we must ensure that both teams are balanced in terms of numbers and casting requirements.
Membership is £20 for adults and £10 for under 18s or in full time education and lasts for one year.
To help support the cost of producing the show, all members of cast must pay a show fee. The show fee is £50 for adults and £25 for under 18s or those in full time education.
