The Castleford Phoenix Theatre presents the 2014 Grand Final of ‘Sing’ vocal competition, the Eighth annual final of the competition. Open to all young people in the area from 12 - 23.Originally titled STARMAKER the competition was set up to allow young people an opportunity to demonstrate their singing ability in a professional environment. It also helps students build confidence, develop new friendships and forge links between people in different areas.

The Grand Final on the 23rd of October will see acts from across Yorkshire taking part as solos, duets or trios and they will be judged on both how well they sing and perform on the night!

Performers will compete for the titles of junior and senior Sing! Champion.

One song, one chance, one winner!

Last season was the busiest for the Phoenix so far. We Celebrated the end of our Fifth full season with ‘5’. A celebration of all things Phoenix, we hosted 2 pantomimes, numerous dance shows, cabarets, musicals and drama. We launched the renovated bar area and upgraded some of our key technical equipment to allow us to offer a better service.

This season will see the Phoenix itself producing more events, including a new dance competition, a talent show a junior vocal competition and we are hoping for a new battle of the bands competition as well.

We will be advertising the theatre to hire to a wider audience so that we can bring you even more opportunities to see great entertainment, in the heart of the community. Highlights I am looking forward to in our winter season will be Yew tree Youth Theatre returning in December, KAOS performing Snow White in January and of course the Grand Final of Sing! and ‘6’ This years birthday show.
