CINDERELLA - PANTO 2007

Panto time is here again.  Dave McChrystal is taking the reins of what will be an exciting chapter for our 30th year. Not only is he going to direct but he has actually written an adventurous script with a wonderful twist in the tale.  

The cast are now in the early stages of rehersals.... "oh no they aren't... oh yes they are!"

David is very excited and so far we have not had any major hiccups.  I will be trying to keep this page as upto date as possible.

Panto Rehearsal Diary

	14/12/2006 - Rehearsals are well under way now that we have finished blocking the moves. Everyone seems to be playing around with their character at the moment with some intersesting results! Everyone is really enthusiastic at the moment. That's not surprising though as we have a great script to work from and a director who is as enthusiastic as we are.
	17/12/2006 - I love Sunday rehearsals! We managed to whizz through tonight. Everyone was on good form as always. Bobbins was giving 'Director Dave' a few good hints and tips and everyone was taking them on board. I don't want to let the cat out of the bag or count my chickens before they have hatched but I have a feeling that this is going to be a good one. I don't think anyone has started learning their lines yet but this will probably happen over Christmas. After rehearsals we decided we desrved a trip to the pub where some good ideas for future scripts were thrust at 'Director Dave' as he has made such a good job of writing the Cinderella script. He has accepted the challenge like a man and we are aiming to have something ready for February Panto 2008 (how far away)! So watch this space...
	21/12/2006 - The last rehearsal before Christmas. Everyone was in high spirits. We managed to rehearse until about 8.00pm when 'Director Dave' deicded not be a 'Scrooge' and to let us finish and have our Christmas party. Drink and be merry was the motto for the evening and we had plenty of Christmas songs playing in the background.
	09/02/07 - Hey there! Okay it's Friday evening on the 9th Feb 07.  Set painting tomorrow and our tech rehersal.  All appears to be going well, but it can always be better.  Managed to injure my foot at football... but the show must go on as they say.  It's always this time when my mind goes into over drive, with ideas... some silly, well mostly silly.  I guess that's why I love Pantomime.  Fingers crossed all will go well... but you never really can tell!
