Pantomimeplay bring you more than just the regular pantomime for schools. All our original Christmas shows have an educational twist entwined within the usual panto audience participation, wonderful characters and recognisable stories.

Our pantomime plays are devised and developed by us alongside pupils and based on our extensive experience within theatre in education. We realised through our work that schools struggled to have the budget for PSHE or educational plays as well as treating the pupils to a show in the winter term…so we decided to bring the two together

The pupils are learning throughout all the fun as there are tonnes of educational factors within the shows and our teacher packs offer the option to continue to use the plays as a resource within your primary school.

CURRENT SHOWS AND THEMES:

“The Incredible Christmas Story” by the boy who didn’t like books!
Supporting literacy, reading, and writing. Ben doesn’t like writing or reading but when mum threatens to cancel Christmas he muddles all his books up after knocking them off the shelf. Prince Charming appears in his bedroom and the story adventure begins. Pupils explore many aspects of the curriculum as they help write a rap, solve the pirates message, take a space journey through alliteration, and much much more.

“Gnome Alone”
A PSHE theme of friendship and bullying runs throughout this pantomime play. Gnorman the gnome gets picked on in Lapland and is left in the enchanted woods – but he has the sleigh keys and must get back to save Christmas. The problem is that Gnorman needs friendship tokens to buy his train ticket back…but he’s never been very good at making and keeping friends and keeps running in to lots of baddies. The pupils help Gnorman and vast array of “Baddies” to learn all about friendship and combat bullying.

“The National Elf Service”
This pantomime play includes the topics of being healthy and being safe. Christmas is not going to happen this year as Santa can’t get out of his chair, and the elves are all too busy playing the new computer games, there’s no money left to make the toys, and everyone in Lapland just can’t be bothered! It might be time to call in the ‘National Elf Service’.

Future shows on the way will explore: Citizenship, Technology, Relationships.

FOR ALL AGES
Our Christmas shows are fast paced, funny, and visually exciting to keep all ages entertained. The older year groups are kept interested and involved by the more advanced script and plot, whilst the physical comedy and fun characters appeal to the younger years. The educational elements cover KS1 and KS2 topics.

AUDIENCE INVOLVEMENT
The whole school is involved from beginning to end ensuring a unique and unforgettable experience. There’s lots of vocal and physical audience participation – they even become part of the play.

PERFORMANCE LENGTH
The timing is slightly adaptable depending on the amount of time you have available in your school. The interactive element of the play allows the length of the play to vary, the plot and story remain the same but the sections that involve the audience can be shortened or lengthened. The minimum performance time is 55 minutes and the maximum is 1 hour and a quarter. We are happy to perform 1 to 3 performances per day.
