With the first round of babes auditions only days away for us, it was time to get the office 'ship shape' and ready for panto today.
The office has gone through it's usual 'pre-panto spring clean' (if you can do a spring clean in the Summer?!) and we've set up extra desks to cope with the additional staff we'll have working on panto preparations.
However, the most important job of all was completed today - a bulk order of tea bags, coffee and biscuits to see us through the next 3 months. Once that all arrives, we're ready for anything!
Bring on the pre-panto season - we have jammy dodgers and chocolate hob nobs so we can cope! ;O)

What music would YOU put in Beauty and the Beast?
It's August and so that means it's panto planning time for Imagine!
And today is no exception. It's the music planning meeting for Beauty and the Beast. As we're doing three productions across the UK (Coventry, Loughborough and Porthcawl), the directors (well, nearly all) and musical directors have all come together in the Imagine offices to plan the musical numbers, stings, incidentals etc for the productions.
Some of the shows will feature original score, along side covers, but all will be musically completely different and unique.

Rob (Director, Porthcawl), Matt (MD, Porthcawl and musical tutor at Loughborough), Steve E(MD Coventry and click track preparer), Neil (Director, Loughborough) and Steve B (Imagine Exec Producer) are all busy working away, and loud music is eminating from their meeting room! Iain Lauchlan (Director, Coventry) is still in Scotland and so can't be with us.
In true Imagine style, they've got cups of tea and a MASSIVE packet of Jammy Dodgers, so we know they'll come up with some cracking ideas!

It's raining... inside!
Ok, so it's been raining alot outside recently. We all know that, and we can stand rain outside, safe in the knowledge it won't rain inside. Oh yeah? Think again!
We have a leak in the Imagine Theatre unit - and no small leak either. Luckily the leak is at the front of the unit and all our props and any panto gear is in the back so it's not really a problem to us at all... but it is most inconvenient to the cat which lives on an old bean bag in the front of our unit and who as unoficially adopted us as her 'owners'!
It appears that every time we experience heavy rain, the down pipe into the storm drain off the roof of the unit leaks, and the aformentioned cat gets a bit of a bath - and judging by the cat-a-walling and screeching that goes on, she doesn't like it much!
Off to phone the council to facilitate a repair, I think!
