GNMT audition 2

Goodnight Mister Tom – Auditions 16-22 Year Olds

Please check rehearsal and performance dates below before booking an audition slot

An opportunity for young people aged 16-22 (post 16 education) to audition to be a part of this fabulous musical production to be performed at the Minack during August 2026.

The production is an adaptation of the novel set during the second world war where evacuee, ten year old William Beech, is delivered into the care of an old widower Tom Oakley. A brilliant and moving family show that is both joyous and heartbreaking.

The young people will audition for a part in the ensemble. Perfect for those who enjoy performing, singing, dancing and acting. The production will also star four professional adult actors.

Please only book an audition slot if you can commit to the rehearsal and performance dates listed in the section below.
