🎄CLAUSE FOR CONCERN!🎄

🎅 Christmas is coming… but all is not merry at the North Pole!

Get ready for a festive comedy full of magical mishaps, clashing personalities, festive songs and plenty of Christmas chaos! 🎄

Santa is exhausted, the workshop is in disarray, and things take an unexpected turn when slick corporate businesswoman Nicola Prime arrives with some very modern ideas about how Christmas should be run! 👀

Will Santa and his team manage to save Christmas, or will this be the year that finally pushes him over the edge? 🎅

Packed with larger-than-life characters, tongue-in-cheek humour and plenty of festive spirit, Santa’s Last Nerve promises a fun-filled evening of Christmas entertainment for the whole family! ❤️

✨WOW WEDNESDAY✨

Our KAMT Squad have officially had their first rehearsals and what a start it’s been!

The Squad jumped straight into their first sessions with some fantastic vocals, and we were so impressed with the strength, energy and confidence they brought to the room!

They’ve also been getting stuck into choreography, working on ‘Lady Marmalade’ and ‘When He Cheats’, putting plenty of energy into learning the routines and getting to grips with the choreography! 💃🎶

There was already such a brilliant atmosphere in the room, and it was fantastic to see everyone getting involved from the very first session. 👏

A huge well done to our KAMT Squad on a fantastic first rehearsal!

⭐ Great comic timing and a good one-liner
⭐ Comfortable with audience interaction
⭐ A natural storyteller with a strong stage presence
⭐ Someone ready to embrace the big coat, beard and belly!

Whether you’re an experienced performer or simply have a passion for bringing characters to life, this could be your chance to play Father Christmas and help make our show one to remember! 🎄
