Could it be you...?

We find ourselves needing to cast the role of Cinderella again and quite urgently!

If you are a playing age of at least 16, can commit to the show dates and (most) rehearsals listed below, and would love to join the panto as our Principal Girl, please let us know you would like to be considered by 5pm Monday 12 October.

We will then arrange a time to meet you in person and do a short audition.

Please email your interest to [email protected]

Many thanks!

Caroline Foot, Director of Cinderella

It was a privilege to attend the Thetford Players’ performance of Hadestown: Teen Edition on Friday.

It never ceases to amaze me just how much artistic talent we have in Thetford.
Thank you to the Thetford Players teen cast for the invitation. You should all be so very proud of yourselves; it was a wonderful evening, and I enjoyed the performance very much.

AND JUST LIKE THAT, Hadestown: Teen Edition is done.

Thank you to the cast for auditioning and putting in MONTHS of hard work, thank you to the parents for chauffeuring to and from rehearsals, thank you to the crew who worked on the show, and thank you to the audience for the standing ovation.

We couldn’t have put on this show without the continued support of everyone involved, including the community that surrounds Thetford Players.

Now on to the next adventure, as Cinderella, our 2027 pantomime hits the stage!
