It’s Happening Again in 2025!

Yes we’re having another pantomime! Under the cover of darkness and with several burly security guards on hand the script for the North Luffenham Pantomime 2025 was delivered to a secret hiding place by magic flying carpet in the dead of night last night.

Now we have the script all we need is our thespians. The same rule applies this year as in all others. If you think you can’t act then you are just who we are looking for! We want to see enthusiastic amateurs giving it their all. Those of you who have seen previous pantomimes will know the level of acting that is required (and I use the word “acting” with deep caution!)

So we are holding a first meeting next Wednesday (22nd) at 7.00pm in The upper room at The Fox for all who would like to be involved in this years undoubted five star performance!

It’s always great fun so please come along if you want to be involved. We would love to have you there. If you can feel your Hamlets twitching or you feel you can contribute to our much ado about nothing please come along and get involved.

Oh and just a quick tempter – The Pantomime Title? GoldyFox and the Three Beers!

Hopefully we will see you on Wednesday (22nd) at 7.00pm

Let the fun and the overacting start again!
