*AGE GROUP:9-16 years (School years 4-11) Upper Age: In line with FAOS direction, it is important to emphasise that wherever possible, the Production Team will aim to cast named parts from the 9-16 years age group. However we will be delighted if past ‘Spellbounders’ still want to audition for lesser roles or assist the production team.
Lower Age: It is important that Parents and Carers consider the ‘staying power’ of younger ones. Although a great experience with frequent breaks and lots of fun, the hours of the workshop week and particularly show week (perhaps 5.30-11pm), can be very long for younger ones. Technical and Dress Rehearsals can take longer than planned but cast will be expected to stay till the end. This can seem tough but at the end of that week a paying audience will be coming through the doors and we must be ready! This is the real experience!
