“A Christmas Pantomime that packs in much more than the Bear Necessites”

Henley-in-Arden Drama Society is thrilled to announce auditions for our upcoming pantomime,Goldilocks and the Three Bears, set to dazzle audiences from 18th-21st December 2025.

We're always on the lookout for fresh faces and enthusiastic talent, and these auditions are open to everyone — new members are especially welcome! If you have a passion for performing or a knack for behind-the-scenes magic, we'd love to hear from you.

Although there is no upper age limit for any of our charming Goldilocks characters, in this particular version of Goldilocks & the Three Bears we are unable to accommodate under 16's due to an extremely tight rehearsal schedule. We do hope all the children of the community who see the show enjoy every bit of it and can be part of another pantomime in future years.

Ready to join the fun?
