The Role The script is currently in R&D and will only be finalised once the full cast is formed. The show is a three-hander and will include multi-roling. Two of the actors have already been cast and we are therefore casting for the remaining actor; roles will be assigned when casting is complete, and possibly within the rehearsal process. We are therefore looking for an actor who enjoys multi-roling (playing a 12 year old to a grandparent!), thrives in a collaborative process, has a child-like energy, who is a confident singer and has experience in children's theatre. We are particularly interested in meeting Disabled, LGBTQ+ and Global Majority actors. Due to the local touring model we are looking to cast an actor based in York, has a base in York or is within commutable distance. About the Show Something feels a little different this year… The snow has fallen, the winter stars are twinkling, but the sparkle of Christmas seems to be missing. Can two friends, facing big changes like moving house, starting new schools and a first Christmas without grandma, find the magic again? With the help of a magical robin, they're whisked away on a joyful journey through their favourite Christmas memories! From festive food and colourful fairy lights, to joyful songs and thoughtful gifts, they soon discover that the real sparkle of Christmas isn't found under the tree - it's in the laughter, love and unforgettable moments we share together and that can live forever in our hearts. When Robins Appear will be a heart-warming, high-energy show created especially for KS2 students. Packed with catchy songs, enchanting puppetry and plenty of audience interaction, it's a festive celebration that gently explores big feelings around change, loss, friendship and what really makes Christmas special.
