SLT Christmas Show 2022 Cast Announcement
After two audition dates and a fantastic turnout of people, we are excited to announce the cast for Sleaford Little Theatre's Christmas Show, Santa Claus and the Great Christmas Caper.
This December, we follow Casey, who hates their surname; they don't even like Christmas – all the singing, silliness, and sparkles. Casey likes reading science books and nature rambles and sensible stuff like that. So, when an elf appears in the school library looking for help to save their boss, Santa, Casey thinks it must be a hallucination – surely the biggest encyclopaedia has fallen off the shelf and knocked them unconscious. But soon, it becomes clear it isn't a dream, and Casey finds themself on an adventure of a lifetime involving a corporate American who wants to take over Christmas, a mad genetic scientist, a petulant talking penguin, unicorns, dinosaurs and of course, Santa Claus.
When asked, Kei, the Director, said, 'It was incredible to welcome so many people to the auditions and wonderful to see what great acting talent the Sleaford area has to offer. We had some tough decisions to make when it came to casting because everyone was so good!'
