Norwich Theatre is on the lookout for the young stars to join the junior cast of its 2026 pantomime, The All New Adventures of Peter Pan.

The theatre is inviting young people aged 9 – 12 to take their first step on the journey to Neverland through a series of free, high-energy workshops inspired by the show, potentially leading to a place in the show later in the year.

The Journey to Neverland: Junior Cast Workshops will be led by experienced industry professionals. Each session explores scenes, movement, and choreography in a supportive, engaging environment.

Selected participants will be invited to attend additional recall workshops later in the summer, culminating in final auditions for the junior cast to play The Lost Children, during panto performances from 5 December to 3 January.

Lead producer Wendy Ellis said: “These workshops are designed to break down the barriers of traditional auditions, making the journey to the stage as inclusive and supportive as possible, whilst having a blast. Whether you’ve been to stage school or only ever sang in the shower, we want to see you all!”

Starting on 26 May and running until 24 July, up to 300 young people will take part, with around 120 invited to recall workshops in August. Final auditions in September will determine the 24 performers cast in the production.

Workshops are open to all abilities, whether experienced or completely new to performing.
