More pantos into rehearsals and opening this week!


Hi panto fans,

It is another busy week in the world of panto, three more of our shows started rehearsals yesterday - Jack and the Beanstalk in Porthcawl (Gillian who plays Fairy is picture here - lovely lady!), Sleeping Beauty in Halifax and Mother Goose in Leamington Spa.

So the actors are being put through their paces as we speak, learning their lines and rehearsing their dance steps. They get to try on all of the fabulous costumes too!

Another panto that we co-produce at the Belgrade Theatre in Coventry opens today, so good luck to the cast of Cinderella we know that you will be fab!

Bye for now panto fans!

Sleeping Beauty cast are busy learning their lines!


Hi everyone!

Well another one of our pantos are now in rehearsals. The cast of Sleeping Beauty at the Hexagon Theatre in Reading started rehearsing yesterday.

Director Steve Boden (very important chap) has been putting them through their paces and helping them to learn their lines. This is Imagine's first production at the Hexagon and we are very excited!

Sleeping Beauty is one of the all-time classic fairytales but we have a few surprises too for Reading audiences - there is going to be something for everyone!

Speak soon panto fans,
