Hats Prepare for Their Next Exciting Panto
What’s the old saying “doesn’t time fly when you are having fun”? It’s absolutely true, the weather has been amazing, the children have been on their school break… and summer holidays and activities have been welcomed by all. It’s almost over, however, there is always something else to look forward to, and here at HATS we are going to make sure we provide you with a fabulous Panto in the run up to Christmas. This year we will be performing “The Emperor’s New Clothes” by P L McQueen, with permissions from Lazy Bee Scripts.
I expect there are a number of adults who remember reading this book when they were children, giggling as the Emperor strolls around in the most spectacular clothing ever!
If you know this story then you will have a good idea of what I am referring to, but don’t spoil it for the younger ones. Let the experience the wonder of this very funny show through their own eyes for the very first time. And kids, we still have all the expected people, goodies, baddies, comedy, etc etc.
Our Director, Jo Murray and co-director Lorraine Nash have been working very hard throughout the summer holidays. The cast know which characters they are playing and Di, our wardrobe expert has already started to create the fabulous costumes you have come to expect every year.
So now its time for the cast to get cracking with their lines, develop their characters and treat you all to another hilarious, interactive, fun show. We’ve been told that’s in our job description, hmmmmmmm. Your job is to have fun, clap, boo, hiss, laugh out loud, and generally have a good time. And remember, it will only be a few weeks after the show that the magical ‘Santa Claus’ will be visiting you, so show him how well you can behave.
Our raffle this year will be in aid of Loros, a very worthy local cause, please help to support them.
