Tee hee, look what I've just found, started in August and now here we are nearly Christmas.
OK Potties, sign up pdq before Nanny, otherwise known as Our Most Esteemed Director, changes her mind.
We need suggestions.
We need volunteers. Acting experience not necessary.
Sense of humour vital. A touch of madness even better.
Scenery designers
Lighting
Voiceovers
Refreshments
Oh, the list is endless.
|
Becki
|
Costumes. We must have silly costumes. And have it on a night I'm not at work for once.
|
Cabbagepatch
|
So, we need to set a date when EVERYONE, I said EVERYONE is available

but surely dick is the principal boy
and is therefore played by a girl............
i see lloyd more as a dame actually
come along now.
more suggestions..................
then i will do a poll for top votes if you like...............

we decide on the panto, i do a bit of a synopsis then at a specified date and time i dole out the parts and kick it off themeverybody gets on with it
nobody knows what anybody else is goint to say and quite often entrances are a bit delayed etc.....
i seem to recall one panto that i did on another forum where the lead character disappeared off to get some ice cream and didn't come in for the line for several minutes....
now who was that?

I'm answering for mum, shes busy getting knots out of merlin's ears and hes trying to devour the comb. 17th is good, I'd like to join in as long as we have wireless net set up otherwise me and mother will have a punch up trying to use the computer at the same time. Tried it once before, didn't work. Greenlady would be wanting to join in aswell id imagine. So count in the clan!!

|
nanny-now and forever

i think at this point i will make an executive decision and plump for the 17th then
how is everybody fixed for 8pm on that date please
we will run it till about 9.30 which puts the pressure on to get through the script (wot i have yet to write)
do noe er nrrf to choose the panto
so far we have done......jack and the beanstalk and cinderella i think so i would rather leave those for a while unless we should all die of terminal boredom
so we have had the suggestion of peter pan...
any more choices please and i will do a poll
lloyd perhaps you need to have a panto dinner party............
|
Cabbagepatch
|
17th is great for us.
how about the pied piper of hamlyn?
|
Kathy
|
I want a pirate............(stamps her feet)
|
nanny-now and forever
|
now now i won't have arguments
so that's peter pan and pied piper
any more for any more please?
i will post the poll on tuesday next so get those suggestions in soon
all decisions are final and the judges word is law............

|
Jojo

Not many parts in Red Riding hood, but we all could be talking woodland animals
|
nanny-now and forever
|
red hooding ride...
a good suggestion
we can have pirates where ever we want
isn't there a panto about blackbeard the pirate?
so far we have peter pan, red hooding ride and what ever the other one was , i can't remember at the moment
it is live because we all sit at our 'pooters, drink in hand and bottle at the ready and just do it...............

Can we do one on a Thursday? or any day that isn't friday or saturday?? :O((
|
Jacky
|
Have I really been around that long, to be in my second Panto
|
Libby
|
I must remeber to tell Tori she loved last years
|
lloyd
|
In all honesty, I recall that last year Nanny said it was her last in organising the panto, and talking to her tonight she explained that she is far too busy with the farm, so unless we get a new volunteer to organise the plot, script, etc, ......then the Panto is doomed, I say!!
