As was communicated in an earlier Curtain Update, we could not book Marens for our usual panto dates. After contacting the venues suggested by the membership (thank you all for so many ideas), it became clear that a suitable theatre would not be available for the dates we wanted. They were either fully booked or lacked the necessary facilities (no orchestra pit, limited dressing room space, etc.). We therefore decided to postpone the 2023 panto to January 2024 in Marens. This will affect the 2024 calendar, which is tentatively as follows: spring show, end of April - beginning of May; Fringe, end of June; and youth show, August.
