Portable Pantomimes for Schools
Along with our sister company Troubadour
Productions, Portable Pantomimes have many
years experience in producing pantomimes for
children in schools. Portable pantomimes, as
the name suggests brings the pantomime to
your school, thus avoiding the fraught and
somewhat expensive challenge of taking your
children to the local theatre.
We are able to provide scenery, costumes and
props, for both the actors and some of your
pupils, as well as sound and lighting, if
required. Please note that lighting is an
addition to a product and standard projects and
therefore comes at a slight extra charge.
Our pantomimes, are usually chosen from
traditional stories and pantomimes with which
the children will be familiar, but occasionally
reproduce a unique and original piece of
children's drama.
Portable pantomimes are a wonderful means
of introducing children in schools to the wonder
of theatre within the safe environment of their
school hall.
Each of our school pantomimes comes with
either two or three actors and offers an
opportunity for children to take part in the show
We often involve a teacher or head teacher in
a role as well to keep the children on their toes.
Our school pantomimes run for between 45
and 60 minutes, depending on the title.
Children will be encouraged to sing already
familiar songs and may even learn one or two
original songs during the show itself... as well
of course as joining in with the usual
pantomime responses of "He's behind you!",
"Oh yes I am, ... oh no you're not!" Etc
A few weeks before the show we will send a
list of volunteers to play small roles in the
show. All of our productions have a happy
ending and many of them have some sort of
moral which may be discussed in class
afterwards. Above all else of course our
pantomimes are a lot of fun and will help the
children use up a lot of their energy at the end
of term...
whilst many of our shows are internally at
Christmas market, we do also have shows
which are available throughout the school year.
