Repeat, repeat, repeat!

Tonight we began learning a VERY fast section to the opening of Act 2!

It was even more tricky as it’s performed in canon, rather than all in unison…challenge accepted! 🤣 👯‍♀️

Another brilliant session tonight! 👯‍♀️
New routines started, partner tricks and lifts in progress, and plenty still to learn!

Flying into the first week of summer rehearsals! 🧚🪝 👯‍♀️

We’ve already had 2 sessions and have managed to get lots of dances taught and practised! It’s been hot, but there’s been plenty of laughs to get us through!

Here we go again! 😆

Exactly 1 year on from completing the first draft of ‘Pinocchio’, we have just completed the first draft of the script for ‘Peter Pan’ this November!

The view certainly helps inspire us! 🌊 ☀️ 🏖️

Now for the really hard part- editing!!!

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!
We are looking for more volunteers to help backstage/front of house or in the dressing rooms for 'Peter Pan'.

If this is something you may be or interested in, or know someone who might be interested, please get in touch by emailing [email protected] or send us a message on Facebook.

Whether you are available for one, or multiple performances, we'd be very grateful.

You must be 18+.

For those helping in the dressing rooms, you will need an enhanced DBS check. If you don't already have one, we can arrange this for you, free of charge.

If you fancy helping out front of house, this may involve checking tickets/serving refreshments/acting as an Usher throughout the performance.

The more help we can get, the better. It's a huge team effort to produce the pantomime each year and we couldn't do it without the help of volunteers, to make the show run as smoothly as possible.

Thank you in advance!

Tonight we had our final singing rehearsal before taking a break for the summer. 🎶

Dancers have only had 5 weeks to get to know the songs, but already everyone is starting to feel confident and the harmonies are coming together nicely 🤩

We are so impressed with the enthusiasm and improvement each week. 🎉💛
