While it may be hot and sunny while I write this, we’ll very soon be in the thick of pantomime. (Oh yes we will!) Preparations for Beauty and the Beast are going really well and I’m very excited to be working with a brilliantly talented cast, crew and creative team to bring this magical story to you this Christmas. Tickets are on sale and selling fast so please book early to avoid disappointment. This year we’re raising money for Chloe and Sophie’s Special Ears Fund – a local charity providing wonderful support for deaf children and their families. We are very happy to be presenting a BSL integrated performance on 14th December (which will also be autism friendly) and for the first time, a Captioned performance on 21st December. We’re really pleased to be giving more people the chance to enjoy the magic of pantomime and thank all involved in making this possible. Enjoy flicking through this seasons shows – I hope you find something to enjoy and perhaps something new to try. My personal tips would be Showstopper the Musical (a brilliant, improvised night of musical theatre comedy!), comedy royalty Harry Hill and Ronnie Scott’s All Stars who bring their world-renowned jazz to Camberley direct from Soho. On behalf of all the staff at Camberley Theatre, thank you for your continued support and I look forward to welcoming you to one of our shows soon.
