A Welcome from our President

Hello there, Mums and Dads, Boys and Girls!

It is a pleasure and a privilege to serve as President of Paignton Pantomime Productions (oh yes it is)!  It is my pleasant duty to welcome our V.I.P. guests when they come to see this marvellous production of Dick Whittington.  Also, I must say a big 'thank you' to all those who have been involved.

Dick Whittington is one of my favourite pantomime stories, telling the tale of a Mayor who wins through in the end!

This is a very special year for Paignton Panto, bringing our top class production to Torquay's Riviera Centre for the first time, whilst out own home is refurbished.  A new venue presents all sorts of challenges to the Panto Team, but I know it will all be worthwhile when the curtains go back and we enter a make believe world of songs, dance, laughter and a happy ever after.  This is magical entertainment for all the family.

I very much hope that you will enjoy this traditional story of Dick Whittington as much as I know our talented company have enjoyed putting it together.

Long may Paignton Pantomime Productions continue to entertain us!

NICK BYE (MAYOR OF TORBAY AND PRESIDENT OF PPP)

A welcome from the Chairman

I have immense pleasure to welcome you to our temporary venue here at the Riviera Centre. The Team have worked hard to bring you a Fun Packed Fantastic Pantomime of Dick Whittington. There are plenty of Traditional Participation bits - So let’s Hear You Joining In! Then we will know that you are enjoying yourselves!

Iain Douglas the Director of the Production Team has managed to pull something exciting and special out of an excellent script. We have an amazing Musical Spectacle for you with lots of up-to-date songs thanks to our energetic Musical Director John Amery. The Dance Routines dynamically choreographed by Elaine Johnson and Amanda Coote bring you a thoroughly polished performance.

We are very lucky to have a cast of so many talented and so many young performers.

It has been a privilege this year to work with such a dedicated enthusiastic society and I would like to thank every single one of them.

Thank YOU for your continued support and may I take this opportunity to wish you a very Happy and Prosperous New Year.
