The ECC will be holding auditions for its pantomime ‘Aladdin‘ in June. The show will run from 9-11 January 2015 at the Auderghem Cultural Centre in Brussels. It will be performed in English.

Pantomime is a comedic genre that tells traditional folk tales through farce and musical theatre. We are looking for actors of all ages with a sense of fun, who enjoy high-energy theatre and cross-dressing. Whilst not essential, we will be interested in singing ability. The principal parts are:

• Abanazar – An evil, yet insecure, sorcerer (male)
• Widow Twankey – a poor washer woman in Old Peking (male)
• Aladdin – A young lad, pure of heart (female)
• Wishee Washee – Aladdin’s more sensible brother (male/female)
• Princess Jasmine – A feisty young noblewomen (female)
• The Genie of the Lamp – A magical spirit (male)
• The Emperor – Jasmine’s rather irritable and long-suffering father (male)
• PC Jean and PC Jan – two dim-witted Belgian policemen (male/female)
