Why is Panto so Special?
Panto has exciting Story-Telling...
Panto tells classic stories (such as Peter Pan) as a boisterous, family-friendly event filled with slapstick, witty dialogue, great music, and a few wink-wink jokes for the adults.
Panto Features Lots of Singing and Dancing...
Every year, we retell a classic fairy tale featuring outrageous characters and uplifting moments. Our shows get both kids and adults cheering, laughing, and having a wonderful time.
Panto is Interactive
Panto is Interactive Theater where the audience becomes a big part of the show. Everyone is encouraged to sing along with the music, to hiss or jeer at the villain, and to offer a sympathetic "awwwww" to the rejected dame who is desperately seeking love. Interaction is a big part of the fun, so bring your loudest cheering voices.
And in Panto, the Goal of Every Show is Fun
Only one thing matters at a Panto... that the audience, the cast and the crew have a ton of fun. So come and watch a great show and be ready to be part of the action.
