Gala Durham is seeking a writer to work with us to deliver our family pantomime, Sleeping Beauty this Christmas.
We are looking to create a new, exciting, magical production which is:
- Accessible, entertaining and engaging for the whole family
- Funny
- Joyful
- Interactive
- High quality and ambitious
- Relevant to our County Durham audience
Our pantomime will have a cast of 7 actors plus professional dancers. We would like our new production to retain elements of a classic pantomime and the Sleeping Beauty fairytale but with a contemporary feel. We are looking for bold submissions but entertaining our audience and making them laugh is key.
