Young performers will have the chance to take part in a production of Cinderella this Christmas.

The Cornerstone Arts Centre in Didcot will host the KD Theatre Productions pantomime from December 18-31.

Auditions will be held later in the year for young performers looking to join the production and the full cast will be announced in September.

Councillor Georgina Heritage, cabinet member for communities at South Oxfordshire District Council, which owns and manages the arts centre, said: "I can’t wait to see this production in December.

"Panto is wonderful in that it brings people of all ages together. It’s such a great British tradition and I hope that everyone who books tickets has a wonderful time."

Daniel Bell, producer at KD Theatre Productions, added: "We are delighted to be working with the fantastic team at Cornerstone Arts Centre to bring a spectacular pantomime to their stage.

"The venue lends itself perfectly for pantomime, and we are already full speed ahead with creating the magic which will entertain the audiences of Didcot this Christmas."

Tickets went on sale on Tuesday, August 13, and are available via the Cornerstone Arts Centre website or in person at the box office.

Discounted tickets for the opening night and for arts centre members on December 19 and 20 are available, with prices starting from £17.
