# Event Details - **Event Name**: Auditions Brabo & the Giant (panto) - **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 30 Sep, 2025 at 07:45 pm - **Event Description**: Panto auditions will be held on Tuesday September 30th at 19:45 and Sunday October 5th at 10:00 at De Mortselarij, Rode Leeuwlaan 15, Mortsel. Actors need to prepare a short monologue (1min) and perform 30 seconds of a song of their choice. Actors may choose not to sing and therefore will be considered for non-singing parts. Actors may choose to audition together in pairs (no more than two) and therefore present a duologue (1-2 mins) and/or a duet (1 min of equal singing time). I understand sometimes its easier for us to bounce of each other when performing. If actors are interested in extra roles/background roles/ chorus / or dance they only need to inform the director of their intent to join via email: ndaechegreen@gmail.com Character List Hero & Companions ?Brabo (Hero): Can be M/F/X, traditionally a young handsome woman (18–25).
