He’s behind you!

For the first time in its 116-year history, the MADC will stage two pantomimes simultaneously this December and January.

Alan Montanaro’s Hercules will be staged at Teatru Salesjan, directed by Steve Casaletto. It will feature Alan himself as Hades and Noel Zarb as Dame Fixfixu.

At the same time, Chiara Hyzler’s Peter Pan will be staged at Teatru Manoel, directed by Stephen Oliver and featuring Jean Pierre Busuttil as the Dame.

One set of auditions will be held for both pantomimes on Saturday 28th February and Sunday 1st March, with 40 key, secondary and cameo roles up for grabs. People are free to audition for both pantomimes, which will increase their chances of being cast.

The deadline to apply for auditions is 26th February.
