Aspiring young performers in Pembrokeshire are being invited to audition for The Big Pembrokeshire Pantomime’s 2026 production of Peter Pan, which marks the company’s fifth anniversary.
The milestone production follows the record-breaking success of last year’s Aladdin, which sold 98% of tickets and attracted more than 6,000 audience members. Tickets for Peter Pan are already on sale, with early bird pricing held until January 2026 to celebrate the anniversary.
Peter Pan will run at the Boulevard Theatre in Milford Haven from Thursday 10th December – Thursday 31st December 2026, promising a swashbuckling festive season of adventure, music and magic for audiences of all ages. The production will bring classic pantomime favourites to the stage, including Captain Hook, Mrs Smee, Peter Pan and Wendy, alongside new juvenile cast members.
The company is seeking talented children and young people for the junior ensemble, ensemble dancers and the key roles of John and Michael. Junior ensemble auditions are open to those aged 5–13, with no previous stage experience required.
Senior auditions are scheduled for Saturday 13th June 2026. Junior auditions will take place on Saturday 20th June 2026 at Vision Arts Studios in Cartlett, Haverfordwest, SA61 2LH.
Director Drew Baker said: “We’re always blown away by the incredible talent in our community and we can’t wait to see what is flying through our doors this year.”
Producer Rhys Williams added: “This is a wonderful opportunity for young people to get involved, work as part of a professional company and be part of something truly special.”
The Big Pembrokeshire Pantomime has built a strong reputation over five years for delivering vibrant, high-quality family entertainment at venues including the Boulevard Theatre in Milford Haven and De Valence Pavilion in Tenby. Previous productions include Jack and the Beanstalk, Dick Whittington, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and Aladdin.
Last year’s Aladdin, which starred Baker as Widow Twankey and Williams as Wishee Washee, played to packed houses throughout its December run. Gareth Thomas’s performance as the Genie drew nightly cheers, with audience feedback highlighting the production’s energy, humour and spectacle.
Successful Peter Pan applicants will join an established cast and crew for rehearsals leading up to the Christmas season performances, gaining valuable stage experience in a professional theatrical environment. Those interested are encouraged to register promptly, as audition slots fill quickly.
