SAFETY IN PANTOLAND

Hello and welcome to St Michael’s Centre where we’d like you to feel at home

Now you’ll either have discovered or already know that we trust you with glass receptacles – just like at home

So far, so good

Tonight’s show is unashamedly exuberant and riotous

and we hope you’ll want to get up and party along. In fact we’ll be amazed if you don’t!

Also, our lovely cast will stalk the auditorium during the show

Again, so far, so good

I think you know where this is going; we ask, nay implore you to make sure those glasses and bottles are safely out of the way at all times so that we all avoid any accidents

and keep our paws healthy

Welcome 2014 saw a flood of new members and this show is no exception.

So we say welcome to Emma Beckett and Pihu Dube. We hope you like us and stay with us

Director’s Notes Welcome to the best panto for yards around!

A lot of people have worked very long and very hard to prepare this year’s magnificent opus (O Puss) and we hope you’ll enjoy your visit to our humble theatre and be swept away by our 2014 pantomime,

the tail of “Puss In Boots”

Now, pantomime is a strange tradition which relies as much on the audience’s performance as that of the cast.

Great to see you again – Let’s party!

Thanks
