Tis Panto Time Folks!

[JennieAtkinson]

Oh no it isn't ......... oh yes it is!

Well that was the first rehearsal tonight. For those of you who have known me on the Vine for a while will know that I am normally appearing on the stage at various times of the year, not necessarily always in panto. But this year I am producing and directing our local panto.

I've gone for Jack and the Beanstalk this year (about the only good script I found) and I've just had my first rehearsal blocking Act 1. Everyone is sooooooo keen. I just hope it lasts! Got the first chorus rehearsal tomorrow and then I will feel I'm on my way ......... Ooh just about to burst into song there.....

So ....... what are having for the virtual panto this year? I am sure you will come up with something extra special which we can start to run nearer the Festive season.

Do I have any offers for principal parts? I'm sure you all want to play the good fairy or wizard. How about the baddie for a change? Or how about an imp or village person - always in much demand as I need so many of them!

Get your thinking caps on and come up with a good one peeps!

[squashysu]

ooo how exciting - i once played goldilocks and had flame red hair at the time!!!! (they thought it was funny )

Can we have the wizard of oz and can i be dorothy as I have some sparkly red shoes, just like hers! ** SS starts singing - we're off to see the wizard the wonderful wizard of oz

Good luck with the panto, how exciting, can you get a video done and post it when you have finished.....

Oh goodie!!!.....( or is that baddie...boooo....)?
Didn't you have flame orange legs last year Jennie????
Count me in!!! I think I was Fluffy the Hedgehog last year wasn't I ...that's when I wasn't offstage doing props etc???

I play a mean fairy.

Mean = quite good.

ooh! Me Miss! Pick Me Miss!

How fab! Good luck with Jack and The Beanstalk Jennie.X

I'm up for the GYO panto (if I'm still around!) will give it some thought....

[Flummery]

Heck - pantos and the kids aren't back at school yet. Scarey! (Not you, Scarey dear!)

[Rhona]

Ooohhh!!! Yes please! Can I be in it? I used to be in loads of plays and musicals and stuff up until my early 20's. I don't mind what part I play but can I wear a pretty dress and a sparkly tiara? Can I can I? Maybe some glittery fairy wings?

Good luck though with the real one! Lord, it takes less and less to get me prematurely excited about Christmas these days - still got a summer holiday to go on!
