Proifles - Ben Whiteside

Ben is ten years old and attends Directions Theatre Arts musical theatre school here in Chesterfield where he learns Dance, Singing & Drama all which are the make up of the title of musical theatre.

Ben played the lead ‘Oliver’ in September here at the Pomegranate in Directions production of OLIVER! where he and his two colleagues (Dodger & Fagin) stole the show. He has also taken the leads in THE LEMONADE KID and FRANKIE & ME. Ben & his friend Dominic also in this production are auditioning for the musical BILLY ELLIOTT in the New Year.

He attends Brampton Primary School here in Chesterfield and plays for the school football team but his real love is performing on stage.

Ben gives 100% and hopes the audience enjoy his performance in this Pantomime.
