ASPIRING actors are being encouraged to join a Redditch drama group.

Harlequins Drama Group is looking for new members take part in their forthcoming production of The Phantom of the Opera.

The musical, which is now in its 30th year, is being staged at the Palace Theatre in Redditch and the group is looking for people aged 14 to 21 to act, sing or dance.

Anyone interested in joining is asked to attend an informal information evening at the Woodrow Community Centre on Tuesday, September 15 at 7.30pm.

Guests can meet the production team, ask questions, meet fellow audition candidates and learn more about the production and the company itself. Information packs will be available to take away.
