Panto launches and panto babes...

As a good friend of ours put it "Imagine theatre continues its exploration of the UK motorway network" with yet another weekend of trips and activities... and this weekend it's been a weekend and a half!

Friday saw the launch of 'Cinderella' at the Victoria Theatre, Halifax - 7 of the cast were there (or should we say 8, if we count the surprise guest?) along with our fantastic photographer Helen again. Steve, Sarah, Lou and Vicky from Imagine met up with the cast and the venue team for a really great photo shoot - which we think is one of the most colourful we've ever done.

Then Sarah lept on a train in Halifax, and 3 train changes and 6 hours later she found herself in Porthcawl ready for the babes auditions there.

Steve and Louise stayed in Halifax and had a great turn out of kids on Saturday and chose 16 really talented kids and 8 reserves for the panto.

Sarah in the mean time had a crisis - swine flu had hit our choreographer for the day, and there was a time when Sarah was going to step in and dance (not a pretty sight!) - until Laura lept in to our rescue and came all the way from London to be our knight in shining armour. Thanks Laura! Director Rob joined them, and they too chose 16 really talented kids, and 9 reserves.

After an exhausting day, it was back to the office to off load, and then a trip to the Chinese for a quick snack and to catch breath...

Ah, and who said Panto was just for Christmas?
