Applications Open on Monday February 9 at www.camberwellshowtime.com
We asked our Cast what they like about Showtime. They said:
“The people. They are so nice, so friendly, I have so many new friends. Showtime is so welcoming.”
“You learn stuff. Not just singing, dancing, acting. I’m better organised now. I don’t get stressed when things go wrong. That’s just life.”
“The things you learn help at school, in life, even in your career.”
“It’s so not like school. Young people write the show, direct the show, make the show. We lead the show, even make the rules.”
“Our rehearsals are fun. We also play games.”
“The show is the best fun ever, the best two weeks of the year.”
If you sign up, you're in! Congratulations. Everyone is accepted into our cast.
The audition is just a chance for us to get to know you, and for you to get to know us! Be prepared for friendly people. On the day, we'll act out a sketch, dance some steps and sing a song.
We know it might be scary, and we aim to make it as fun as possible.
