second pantomime audition

[Georgeoliver]

Hi, my ds is nearly seven and has no experience in panto. He loves drama and singing so when auditions were taking place he went along. The theatre is not far from us and we thought there was nothing to lose by having a go. They seemed quite pleased with his first ever audition and invited him back again this weekend
I realise there will be lots of children called back so putting it down to experience and not getting over excited. I am however starting to get a little worried for him this time round as he has been given nothing to prepare! I can't prep him in anyway and when he asks what they will be doing I can't answer
Any advice on what I should be telling him? or what sort of things they might do in a second round panto audition? this is all very new to me ..please help

Aw! Well done to your DS. That's fantastic
Could you contact them and ask if there is anything different he needs to prepare??? Otherwise (unless something different springs to mind that he could have up his sleeve) just practice what he had to do for the first round and tell him to do his best and have FUN Good luck to him Do let us know how he gets on!

good luck to him!!

they would have told you if there was anything to prepare and ususally in the case of panto from my experience , there isn't
so relax

and fingers crossed

K, because being a lost boy is basically just about being a raucus/rawcus (how do you spell that) boy..... they really just want them to be themselves.... at our lost boy auditions we just had them do a fun workshop type thing,,,,
I think the main tip you can give him to is to really listen to what he is being asked to do, sometimes some of them got so carried away with having a good time with each other they stopped listening and those boys usually aren't kept back... as yes, personality is needed for the show but they do need to be able to be controlled easily and listen to direction.
He will love it.... and he's so gorgeous he's already halfway there
