Pantomime progress

Fleur @Fleura (34962) • United Kingdom 30 Nov

I was asked for updates on the construction of pantomime scenery… Because it’s ‘The Little Mermaid’ we are going to have quite a lot of underwater scenery. And of course because it’s panto, everything has to be larger, more...

Fleur @Fleura (34962) • United Kingdom 26 Nov

All my Sunday mornings for the past month or so have been taken up with making scenery for the pantomime. It’s going to be ‘The Little Mermaid’ this year so there will be plenty of sea-themed décor. Our lead props and scenery...

My next theatrical experience

Fleur @Fleura (34962) • United Kingdom 29 Jan 24

By the time opening night rolled around, the scenery was finished, the props were made, and there was nothing much left to do. Of course a backstage crew was still needed to open and close the curtains and change the scenery but...

I’m more of a backstage person

Fleur @Fleura (34962) • United Kingdom 28 Jan 24

So I mentioned a while ago that I’m involved with the local amateur dramatics society. The girls and I all joined three years ago and we were all in the chorus. I’m obviously just not a natural performer. I don’t generally seek...

It’s always worth asking!

Fleur @Fleura (34962) • United Kingdom 23 Nov 23

This year I decided not to be part of the chorus for the pantomime, but to help out backstage instead, making scenery and props. They needed more help as a couple of people who have been coming along for years have suddenly...

Waste of an afternoon!

Fleur @Fleura (34962) • United Kingdom 29 Dec 20

In normal times, we enjoy live theatre and generally go to a variety of performances, as do our friends. Of course now all that is off and theatres and performing arts generally are in trouble. So it’s nice to provide a bit of...

TV Review Rentaghost

Arthur Chappell @arthurchappell (44941) • Preston, England 19 Apr 18

Before Ghostbusters there was Rentaghost, a very silly BBC TV children’s comedy series that ran from 1976 to 1984. The premise was simple – they were an agency that hired ghost out to homes that had no ghosts of their own. The...

Val @valmnz (17095) • New Zealand 12 Dec 17

I had a lovely couple of days down in Wellington over the weekend, the highlight of which was attending the Peter Pan Pantomime. Before I went I was concerned about how good my seat would be, as I purchased the last remaining...

Val @valmnz (17095) • New Zealand 4 Dec 17

I haven't been to a pantomime for years, in fact I don't remember when I last went to one. So, this coming weekend, I'm in for a treat. I need to go down to Wellington, our capital city, for a couple of days and so looked online...

Lee Bradley @bruders333 (16) • United Kingdom 17 Dec 15

Our kids, all under 7 go to a school who offered the chance to go to the local Pantomime for a reduced price. So tonight we all went to see Aladdin at the local Opera house and I must say we had a fantastic night. The production...

Which Dwarf are You

p1kef1sh @p1kef1sh (45681) 19 Nov 08

Pantomime season will soon be upon us and we will either be rushing with our little ones, and not so little ones, to "He's behind you" and "Oh yes he did" etc or hiding away from it all. I'm hoping that we'll have Snow White and...

Tomorrow's Stars

Darkwing @Darkwing (21583) 13 Mar 08

Have you ever felt really emotional at the achievements of not only your own children and grandchildren, but others, as well? Last night, I couldn't hold back my emotions. I had just sat through two hours or so, of Alice in...
