M.A.S.K. (Music and Stage for Kids) is calling budding actors and singers of all ages to audition for a May production of the world famous musical The Wizard of Oz!

Following on from its successful Oliver! show the company says it is 'a fantastic opportunity' for young people be part of another professionally managed production here in Bahrain.

"Can you see yourself part of this wonderful adventure," a spokesman said. "singing and dancing in the chorus line?

"Perhaps you are a Dorothy who sings her way from Kansas to the Land of Oz - maybe you'd make a perfect Tin Man, Lion or Scarecrow - or, theWizard himself?"

Auditions are open to all and will begin with acting and singing workshops to familiarize you with the roles. Auditions for actors aged eight to14s will be on Friday.

Call 39875782 to book a place. Over 14s and adults will be auditioned on Saturday - call 39067671 to book your spot. For more information email maskbahrainmask @gmail.com
