What to expect from our Panto
Panto is a fun, family-friendly theatre tradition in the UK, usually performed at Christmas. Based on fairy tales, it’s packed with comedy, music, and audience participation.
Key Features:
- The Dame – A comedic, larger-than-life character played by a man in exaggerated female costume and makeup, bringing slapstick and cheeky humour.
- Audience participation – Classic shout-outs like “It’s behind you!” and “Oh no it isn’t!” keep the crowd involved.
- Slapstick & Wordplay – Silly physical comedy, messy scenes, and jokes for both kids and innuendo for adults.
- Modern References – Pop culture jokes and improvisation make each show unique.
- Larger-Than-Life Characters – Expect a hero, a villain to boo, and a comedy sidekick.
- Live on stage music – We pride ourselves on our highly professional actor-musician casting for all roles, meaning all cast members play an instrument on stage (as well as act, sing, and dance)
- New writing – Each panto is brand new for us, it’s the classic fairy tale with a local spin.
