The production is headlined by Phantom of The Opera star, Janet Cowley, as Mrs. Darling while the villainous Captain Hook is played by David Thomas, who recently starred as Mr. Rochester in the musical, Jane Eyre.

Handpicked, talented, local youngsters will have the chance to join them as Lost Boys, Indians, Mermaids, Shooting Stars, Flame Dancers and Neverland animals. The juvenile roles of John, Michael and Tinker Bell are up for grabs too. Older performers (male and female) are also invited to audition to work alongside the professional adult cast in a variety of roles. Ability in acting, ensemble singing and/or a variety of dance styles is necessary.

It's a great chance for local performers to get on the stage in what is sure to be a fantastic show.

If you think you have what it takes, get yourself down to The Guild Hall, Preston on Sunday, April 15 and register at 10am.
