"Cinderella is probably the best pantomime part to play and we'll be looking for someone that can sing, dance and act to a very high standard,” said director Guy Pascall, from New World Productions.
“It's going to be a fantastic production and a real opportunity for a local girl to gain valuable professional experience and start them off on their own glittering career. As this is our first year at Harlow Playhouse we're really looking forward to bringing a wonderful show to the area."
Mr Ramsay said: “I’m thrilled the central part in this year’s pantomime is going to be taken by a talented local performer.
“It’s a super opportunity for someone out there and I am very much looking forward to the auditions on July 25.”
