PANTO performers are hoping to swell the ranks of their chorus for their new year production at Halesowen’s Cornbow Hall.

Startime Variety is looking for new members, especially men and children aged 12 and over to take part in the Three Musketeers.

The show will run nightly from January 27 to 30, with a Saturday matinee. Twice weekly rehearsals on Wednesdays and Fridays will start on September 2.

Chairman Julie Evans said: “We need half a dozen to a dozen children at least for the chorus.

“We are also looking for new adult members, especially men – they seem particularly shy when it comes to singing.”

The group, which sang at the recent Haden Cross Community Fire Station open day, can be contacted through its Facebook page Startime Variety.
