DanceEast, The New Wolsey Theatre and New Art Club are currently seeking talented community performers for Hercules: A Dance Cabaret

Created by and starring the award winning comedy double act, Tom Roden and Pete Shenton, of New Art Club, this story of Hercules is told through hilarious dance routines and amazing speciality acts. It’s a modern cabaret for the whole family: a pantomime, a history lesson and a party all rolled into one side-splitting adventure.

  • Some experience/natural talent for dance and performance
  • Aged 11 – 16yrs
  • Confident to perform on the main stage of The New Wolsey Theatre
  • Are local to Ipswich and can be committed to the rehearsals and performances (see below)

Local Performers will learn a section of choregraphy to be performed as part of the main show working with some highly established professional performers.

What is the commitment?

There will be two performance’s at The New Wolsey Theatre on Wednesday 17 June 2015 (11.00am and 7.45pm).
