IT MAY be more than seven months away but an Oxfordshire theatre is already preparing for Christmas.
The Cornerstone in Didcot has announced it will hold open auditions for its Christmas show to recruit a ensemble children's cast for a production of the Pied Piper.
Last year, a similar initiative for a production of the Nutcracker - the first in-house show - was hailed as an 'enormous success'.
Children aged between 8 and 16 are invited to attend on June 9 and 10 at the theatre.
