Cheddington Pantomime Group

Information about Cheddington Pantomime Group:

Please see below for details of our forthcoming production: My Fair Lady (book and lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner; Music by Frederick Lowe; adapted from the George Bernard Shaw Play & Gabriel Pascal's motion picture 'Pygmalion')

Cheddington Pantomime Group always manages to put on a very professional show, despite the constraints of the Village Hall. For example, a marquee is hired for the week of the show in order to provide adequate changing facilities. Over the years, the Group has accumulated an enormous range of costumes, many of which have been made by our talented seamstresses. For details of costume hire, please see below.

Whilst the Group is not actively rehearsing the next pantomime, the committee continues to meet regularly and plan various fund-raising initiatives. These have recently included quiz nights, murder mystery evenings, an Old Time Music Hall, treasure hunts and barbeques. Please see below for a list of our planned events.

We are always on the look out for talented people. Not just to go on stage but also to help out before and during the show, whether it is doing a bit of sewing, helping with scenery and props, doing make up, or assisting front of house – the list is endless. If you would like to know more about the Group or find out about participating in our next pantomime, whether on or off stage, please contact Gina Wiggins (Secretary) on 01296 668435 or Meg Grant (Chair) on 01296 661845.
