A CALL has gone out for dogs to audition for the role of Bullseye in a production of Oliver! at the Regal Theatre in Minehead.

Fusion Young Performers, who are putting on the Regal production, think a Jack Russell type could fit the bill but are open to other suggestions.

Ideally the dog needs to be calm and not over excitable - the cast comprises a lively group of more than 50 young people.

The dog would be on stage only two or three times, in Act 2, always be on a lead, and the owner needs to be prepared to stay with it when off-stage.

Oliver! will be staged from February 22 to 26. Further information in the Free Press,
