We are currently looking to fill the following roles for our forthcoming Christmas production of Rapunzel or the Magic Pig

Mother Gothel

Rapunzel’s stepmother and a talented herbalist who loves Rapunzel with a clawing kind of love. A character who we are both appalled and thrilled by – a cross between a panto dame and a proper dark witch. This is a Christmas show but not a panto and Mother Gothel has a very dark edge to her that emerges through the show. Looking for a male, playing age 35+ with great comedic and characterisation skills. Energetic and creative in approach to the role. We are not looking for a panto dame but previous experience in this area is desirable as good impro skills and ability to play with the audience is essential, entertaining and corralling in equal turns.

Patrizio

Classic prince role with a twist. Looking for a young male, playing age early to late 20s with lots of character and strong singing voice. We are looking for someone who will understand the comedic potential in this role so we need an actor with great character invention. Ability to play guitar/mandolin or similar instrument is desirable.

We start rehearsals from the 1 November 2010 and the run starts on Friday 26 November 2010 and finishes on Saturday 15 January 2011.

For more information or to submit your CV please email Katie Catling at admin@creationtheatre.co.uk with the subject line ‘Rapunzel’.
