Backstage at the Panto: A Six-Week Short Course

Wed 4th Nov - 9th Dec 26

Ever wondered what it takes to put a panto on stage? Before the first "Oh no it isn't!" rings around the auditorium, a whole team of skilled theatre makers have been working behind the scenes to build the magic. This is your chance to join them.

Over six weeks, you'll follow our Christmas panto from the inside, getting a real behind-the-scenes look at how a major production comes together.

You will get the opportunity to:

  • Discover the world of panto – where it comes from, what makes it special, and all the people who bring it to life
  • Watch some of the fit-up as the set arrives and the stage is transformed
  • Observe a technical rehearsal and see how lighting, sound and stage management come together
  • Go on a tour of the set and get up close to the scenery, props and backstage spaces
  • Take part in a hands-on workshop with a member of our theatre making team
  • Watch a preview performance and see everything you've learned come together in front of a live audience

Whether you're thinking about a career in theatre, love finding out how things work, or just want to see a panto from a whole new angle, this course is for you. No experience needed – just bring your curiosity.
