CARDIFF-BASED COMMUNITY THEATRE GROUP IS CASTING FOR ITS CHRISTMAS SHOW!

Do you have a passion for performing? A desire to tread the boards? 

Hijinx Odyssey, a well-established community theatre group for performers with and without disabilities, is recruiting budding actors to join its ranks for this year’s Christmas production of The Silent Toy Soldier at Wales Millennium Centre (3-5 December).

Odyssey, the community arm of professional theatre company Hijinx, was established in 1999 for people of all abilities who have a passion for performing. Today Odyssey unites a unique mix of performers of all ages (18+) and is renowned for having a family feel. Its shows are cast with talented enthusiasts and produced by a professional team of directors, designers and production staff.
