Martin is goosing around!

Hi panto fans!

Well, it is busy, busy here in the Imagine Theatre office. We are sorting out scenery and props which have now made it back home to the stores after their Christmas travels - so lots to do!

We have also filmed our very first promo video for this year's panto season! Martin Ballard who will be starring in Mother Goose at Loughborough Town Hall later this year had an egg-cellent time!

Hello panto peeps!

Well time certainly flies in the world of panto - where did Christmas time go?!

If you are yet to see one of our shows and enjoy the panto fun then there is still time! Cinderella at The Belgrade Theatre, Coventry runs until Jan 8, Beauty and the Beast at Eden Court, Inverness and Cinderella at Loughborough Town Hall both run until Jan 9 - so call the box offices for more details.

Thank you to everyone who came to see one of our shows and to all involved with each and every performance - it really has been a fantastic season.

Whilst we may only be in January, we are already starting to plan for this year's festive panto season! Over the next few weeks we will be meeting with our venues to discuss this year's shows, receiving hundreds of CVs from budding panto actors and reviewing scripts.

So check back soon for more updates!

Happy New Year,

The Imagine Theatre team x
