Pantomime has been a traditional part of the
British arts calendar for over 300 years and with the season soon upon us, the
nation is being invited to celebrate #Panto Day on Wednesday 5th December.
#Panto Day is a day to celebrate everything
panto related, in any fitting way. Many theatres, actors, audiences and
enthusiasts are already showing their interest in joining the celebrations, and we'd love you to get involved too! If you're planning a #Panto Day event, let us know. Contact Simon by emailing simon@celebratepanto.co.uk.
Although only its second year, Panto Day has
gone from strength to strength, with over 100 theatres and companies already
pledging their Panto Day support.
Panto fans are invited to join our online
panto celebrations on 5th December by tweeting anything and everything panto
related using the official hashtag #panto.
Plans are also under way for a very special "Day in the Life of Pantoland" project, which will take place on #Panto Day itself: Wednesday 5th December. More details to be revealed soon...
