Panto week

 Jack (of Jack and Jill fame) chills before his first night.

 

Across the divide (a rail of clothes) in the ladies' dressing room/area, the female cast members rehearse a song and the dance moves. 

Me 'n Dame Hood. 

My friend Monica who is playing Billy the woodcutter's son and love interest to Red Riding Hood. Billy and Red are hilarious as 2 women in their 50s playing a young couple in love!!

The boys just aren't as diligent about their warm up as the girls ..

I of course take it all very seriously....

Red and a villager...I think we've all worn one of those skirts at one point or another...

I'm missing the third piggie, she must have been in make up...

Our first night went very well. We had a great audience who seemed to really enjoy it. The 2 little girls in the front row who laughed and joked and  screammmed "behind you" we're particularly brilliant. The village must have missed us as where usually we have 40-50 for the Wednesday and treat it like a glorified dress, last night we had 90! Loved it 

4 more shows to go and clean up on Sunday and then it's all over for another year. Food and drink are "freeform" but it is very strenuous too. Life is much fun at the mo.
