Bah Humbug! A panto based on A Christmas Carol

We have a panto - oh yes we have !

We are excited to bring our panto to schools, clubs and organisations throughout the East of England in November and December 2024.

We have kept many of the important elements of this Dickens classic whilst making it accessible for a young audience with the larger than life characters, plenty of audience participation, songs and lots of comedy and fun.

We are a company keen to bring the live arts to children and we are aware that panto performances are often a way for children to discover the wonder of live theatrical experiences for the first time.

Why A Christmas Carol

We have chosen A Christmas Carol because it is a wonderful story full of rich characters, themes relevant to children today and an underlying moral that people can choose to be good and do good things for others.

A Christmas Carol is a set text in GCSE and for many children the earlier they are introduced to this story it will help them start to know the story which might help them later recognise the names of the characters and keep the story accessible for them.

What can you order?

We can deliver up to three performances at your school at times to suit you. Each performance is approximately 50 minutes long with a short set up time of 25 minutes in between.

Three excellent freelance actors will perform all the characters in a fun, energetic and comedic way engaging with the audience all the way through.

What we need from you :

We will bring a very simple set up to define the stage area. We will need access to power points for our sound system and we may or may not use microphones depending on the size of the hall/audience.

We need a performance space of at least 6ft by 6ft.

If you have a student that uses a BSL translator we can provide for them the script in advance.
