Pantomime Gala Evening Success!

All set-up ready for the gala film premier

A great evening was enjoyed by the cast, crew, helpers and partners of the Bishopswood Pantomime Players. As is the norm, we gather for a film premier evening of the pantomime so that those taking part get a chance to view it, plus get together again as one large family.

This time around due to the Covid-19 situation it’s been a long time coming. The final performance of the pantomime – Treasure Island – took place just days before the first “lock down”. So, it is almost two years of waiting to get back together. Around 35 people attended and enjoyed the two hour show accompanied by drinks and nibbles.

As has become tradition our Producer and Director, David Emerson CBE was presented with an album as a memento of the pantomime with the thanks of everyone that took part in any way.
