The Theatre School of Scotland is putting on 11 performances of the Wizard of Oz pantomime at the Scottish Event Campus this Christmas.

The pantomime, which will run from December 19 to 23, will be performed by a cast of 100 children.

The cast, which features children aged between six and 23, was chosen from 450 hopefuls who auditioned.

"It’s not just about building their confidence and skills but sparking them to realise there is and can be future careers in theatre, telly and beyond.

"This year we really have pulled out all the stops we’ve got set, costumes and pyro coming from across Europe, I cannot wait to be home with the wonderful SEC team for another year, it's a delight to produce this show with them each year."
