Dame, dame, dame!!!

Spots, stripes, buttons, ric-rac, sequins, foam, and hula hoops! These are just some of the components needed for the dame’s costumes this year! 🤩

We have currently completed 3 out of 14 Dame costumes so far!

We love the challenge of the Dame- trying to go bigger and bolder every year! 🩷

From the leaning tower of Pisa, to a handbag, to a Nutella jar for ‘Pinocchio’ last year, I wonder what’s in store for the Dame in ‘Peter Pan’!! 👀

There’s only one way to find out…book your tickets now! 🎟️

A very busy afternoon! 😅

The principal cast had a great rehearsal today. Whilst there’s so much to practice at the moment, after a summer off from regular classes, everyone is putting in lots of effort to understand where their role fits into the pantomime. 🎭

We hope you’ve got your tickets booked! 🎟️ You won’t want to miss it!

Second to the right and straight on to The Dragonfly Theatre! The Footlights are back for a brand new, high flying pantomime adventure!

Join Peter Pan and his trusty sidekick Tink, as they take the 'Darling' children on a magical journey to Neverland. Along the way they meet pesky Pirates, magical Mermaids and the lively Lost Boys, but the fun comes to a halt when the villainous Captain Hook shows up, seeking revenge on Peter Pan. 🧚

Expect hundreds of sparkling costumes, high energy musical numbers, a cast of over 80 local children and young people, and not forgetting a fabulously flamboyant Dame, this pantomime is the perfect treat for the whole family!
