A Welcome from our President

Hello there, Mums and Dads, Boys and Girls! it is a real pleasure and privilege to serve as President of Paignton Pantomime Productions and to welcome our VIP guests. I congratulate the entire production team responsible for this year's production, which is special in a number of ways. It's the first panto back in the newly re-vamped Palace Theatre, and the first time PPP has presented this particular pantomime story. A lot of hard work has gone into preparing this production, and if the cast enjoy themselves as much as I did when I appeared in the pantomimes here, then I know we will all have a good time. The Palace Theatre is now a superb venue in which to watch such productions in total comfort. It now feels like a real professional theatre and my thanks go to everyone who helped make the dream come true. long may Paignton Pantomime Productions continue to play in this lovely building.

A welcome from the Chairman

I have immense pleasure to welcome you to The Palace Theatre, back again in our old home, now beautifully refurbished and with greatly improved viewing positions. I am confident that as you settle back in your new comfy seats you will enjoy our production of "Sleeping Beauty". I am indebted to our production team Iain, John Elaine and Amanda, whose amazing talents and relentless enthusiasm have produced this fabulous show. This is a fun packed traditional pantomime and nothing gives the cast greater pleasure than to hear you all participating in the fun and frolics, so HISS, BOO, CHEER, as loud as you like! Or - just sit back and be transported to the village of Muddleby on the Marsh. Thank you for your continued support and may I take this opportunity to wish you a very happy and prosperous New Year. I look forward to seeing you and all your friends again, back in this wonderful Theatre.
