The Network 24 hour panto has been completed for the third year going and was my first year participating in. This years panto was Peter Pan in which i played the role of John.
The panto started at 8pm on the sunday where we started to brainstorm ideas around Peter Pan and the story. The rest of the cast left shortly after bar 5 members who stayed back to write the script.
The next morning i was up at 6.30am for a 7am start at the panto. After creeping around the house not waking the house up i arrived at the quarry to a script pretty much complete. The script still needed a few adjustments to it so in the mean time we learned the first dance to the opening of the panto. As we were doing a run through of the script we happy to see sight of bacon sandwiches which we were promised the night before.
The rest of the morning consisted of many run throughs of the panto and the learning of dances and songs where at 12pm we were sent away for some lunch and to return at the church hall where we were to perform our panto.
The afternoon was much the same as the morning just with more tired people, sound and lighting, which the tech guys started to put up the previous night at in the morning to. At 4pm we did our first dress rehearsal which went well and just managed to fit another one in before 6.30pm when the audience was aloud to enter the church hall.
The show itself went really well with a good reaction from the audience and those that did participate. I look forward to next years.
