The Princess: A very physical role requiring strong acrobatic or gymnastic skills (parkour, trampolining, cheer, or stunt training beneficial). You'll perform light partner acrobatics and trampette work, requiring playfulness, engagement, and physical comedy skills.
The Blue Servant: A physical acting role requiring slapstick and physical comedy skills. Acrobatic skill and trampette experience advantageous. Must be playful, engaging, and a strong team player.
Both roles involve lifting and stacking small mattresses. Both require a collaborative team player with a positive attitude and mutual trust with cast members.
Dates: Rehearsal 8-12 March, Rehearsal & Tech 24-29 March, Performances 30 March - 4 April 2027.
