The Pied Piper may be one of the lesser performed pantos, but with all the traditional panto parts you’d expect and, excellently written, it is a very exciting and hilarious script. There is plenty of involvement for chorus and dancers, particularly the junior members as pigs, farmhands, children etc. and a wide choice of some very good principal characters to join in the ratty and piggy fun.

Auditions have now been held and the show must go on !

Tickets will go on sale from:
Monday 2 December – to organised groups (Brownies, Scouts etc)
Monday 9 December to GADS members, and
Monday 16 December to members of the general public.

Booking is highly recommended for all shows. An email address and a link to our online booking site will appear here from 16 December. Please also use this email address to contact us about any special requirements – for example if you need extra space for a pushchair or wheelchair access. We will do our very best to accommodate you.

Ticket prices are held once again at £7.50 for adults and £5 for u18 / full time students and there will be the customary discount of 50p per ticket for groups of 10 or more. This discount should also be available to those who book online.

To give us time to prepare for the shows, online ticket sales will end a few hours before each performance.  But rest asured – any remaining tickets will still be available on the door, where we can take payment by cash, card or phone.

We will have the usual complimentary programme and light refreshments during the interval and there will also be ice cream on sale during the interval, thanks to Ravenglass Handmade Ice Creams. We are doing our bit to help raise money for the Public Hall refurbishment project so 50p from each ice cream sale will go towards this worthy cause.

We always appreciate more help back stage and front of house, with Chaperones, Dressers, Make-up and Hair, Lights and Sound, Scenery Painting, Stage Crew – the list goes on. If you would like to help, please contact us (using the subject Other / General enquiry).
