General Information:
This will be a traditional pantomime with hero, villains, and a dame, involving physical comedy. Whilst the story will appeal to children, the humour will engage the adults. The style will encourage audience participation. Traditionally the dame is played by a man and the hero by a woman, but most other parts can be played by actors of diverse age and gender. The performances will be timed to suit school holiday daytime audiences, with at least one evening performance for the “young at heart”. Cast and crew will need to be available for these times.
As well as actors and stage crew, we will need costuming, assistance with contacting schools and holiday programs, continuity assistant, etc.
