Just heard from a builder friend that a local boy- never worked before got the job and has been filming for 2 weeks! I know the boy and he really looks the part!

Hi Lynda
I wrote to Jo and she has put me on her list, I have also reminded the council, and asked a few drama schools and otehr chaperones who have worked with my child etc. Any other ideas?

Does anyone know of any agencies that find chaperone work? Cheers

Hello fellow Mums. I have just got a renewed chaperone license and would like to try and get some work. I have only ever chaperoned my own children, except for one job a few years ago in the Barbican. How did you get started fining work. Have any of you heard of http://www.ukchaperoneservice.co.uk/ ...

Can anyone guide me- sometimes on KCCP and StarNOw etc there are jobs offered where it doesn't seem that those offering the jobs realise about kids licensing. They either don't know or clearly haven't left enough time. What do you do? If the job is out of school hours/weekend do you do the job anyway?

For most musical theatre in London you don't need an agent- you can apply direct yourself- See jo Hawes website

Hi You all seem to have a very direct relationship with your agents. Even though we see ours every week ( he also teaches) mine is very touchy and I can't ask anything direct like this as they deem it that I am questioning their efficiency when I just want to know what is going on. My DS gets hardly...

thanks

What were they looking for in the casting what age child/children?

He was Fred. They contacted his agent. He did recall I can't remember if 1 or 2 weeks after 1st round and then got told the following week.It really was a wonderful experience for him. His first job.

Just to add re my earlier reply- we were a London family so we did lots of the taking to and fro to the theatre though we were lucky that the chaperone could help out a lot. All teh chidlren were London based that season and I suppose it was a bigger commitment because of the dropping to the theatre...

My DS was in it from May to September last year. He had a blast but it is a big commitment. 2-3 show days a week. Sometimes 2 shows on a day. Not many matinees and I think they reduced it further since then. Luckily for him a big stretch of his commitment was over May half term and summer hols so he...

I don't know- my DS wasn't seen poss too young at 11 playing age 9 but a friend of his was who is 13.

They cast the adults and then they have seen some children
