Fuengirola Stage Calls as Salon Varietes Launches Autumn Pantomime Auditions

By Costa del Sol News 11 October 2026 1 min read

Fuengirola's celebrated Salon Varietes Theatre opens auditions for its landmark seasonal pantomime, inviting local community performers to tread the boards.

Fuengirola’s cherished English-language playhouse, the Salon Varietes Theatre, has launched open casting calls for its upcoming seasonal pantomime production, providing amateur actors, singers, and comedic performers an opportunity to take centre stage. As the only dedicated English-speaking theatre venue on the southern coast, the institution has anchored local expatriate culture for nearly four decades.

Auditions are welcoming both veteran stage hands and enthusiastic newcomers eager to step into classic pantomime roles, including the venerable dame, heroes, and comedic villains. The production team aims to build a vibrant ensemble cast that reflects the multi-generational international community residing across the western Costa del Sol.

A Cultural Cornerstone for Expat Arts

Located just a short walk from Fuengirola’s central train station, the Salon Varietes has weathered countless challenges over the years, maintaining an unbroken schedule of musicals, farces, and dramatic productions thanks to tireless volunteers and passionate local supporters. The annual Christmas and winter pantomime represents the box office cornerstone of the theatre’s financial calendar, packing the auditorium with families from across Málaga province.

Rehearsals are set to begin shortly, with production designers already working on vibrant backdrops, tailored costumes, and upbeat choreography. The stage directors emphasise that enthusiasm, comic timing, and stage presence matter far more than extensive formal training, encouraging expats of all backgrounds to audition.

Ticket Details and Box Office Information

For residents and visitors looking to attend the performances rather than take to the stage, box office bookings will open in the coming weeks both online and at the Calle Emancipación ticket desk. Supporting community venues like the Salon Varietes ensures that genuine English-language performing arts continue to flourish on the Costa del Sol, bridging generations through time-honoured British theatrical tradition.
