AUDITIONS are being held by Harpenden Young Hearts Youth Theatre for their December show Beauty and the Beast.

The Youth Theatre has re-opened its doors for the Autumn term with weekly classes for eight to 18 year olds and auditions are to be held for the lead roles of the Beast, Gaston Le Foux and the heroine Belle.

But everyone will be involved in the production which will be performed on December 4 in Harpenden Public Halls.

Professional actor John Stenhouse, who founded Harpenden Young Hearts in 2006, commented: “Beauty and The Beast is a perfect choice for us as it brings great songs, characters and lots of opportunity for a large cast to get involved.”

Potential new members should contact Young Hearts by emailing harpendenyoung@yahoo.co.uk or call John on 07967 269068.
