Pantomime and Musicals FAQS

 

Booking Process

How do I book? 

Get in touch with us by completing an enquiry form for the workshop you are interested in, or give us a call on 020 7395 7520. One of our friendly office team will provide you with details of the show, a suggested timetable and costs. Once we have established a date and provisional schedule for the visit we will then send you our booking confirmation emails which consist of a booking confirmation form to be signed and returned and an accounts email with a deposit invoice.

Can I read reviews from other schools before I book? 

Head over to our feedback pages where you can read what schools have to say about our visits.


Suitability

Are your shows suitable for SEN schools?

Yes, we are always happy to bring our performances to SEN schools. If you have questions about suitability or any specific requirements please get in touch and we will be happy to answer any specific questions.

Do you perform for Nursery classes? 

Experience tells us that it's a big ask for nursery to sit still for an hour but if you would like to include them they will enjoy the singing and dancing - and we're more than happy to have them there for free. It might be good for a teacher to explain the story to them in advance.


Preparing for the performance

What are the space requirements?

We set our shows up with the audience sat in two groups facing each other on the floor or mats, and so will not require use of your stage. This establishes a catwalk like space in the middle for the action to take place whilst creating an inclusive and exciting environment for the children. 

Our actors bring everything they need in terms of set, props and sound system. We ask that we borrow two tables (with no obstruction underneath) as well as a few adult sized chairs and access to a plug socket. 


Safety

Can I see a copy of your risk assessment?

You can find all of our risk assessments and relevant insurance information on our safety page. 

Are the workshop leaders DBS checked?

All of our dancers and facilitators hold a current, enhanced DBS which they will bring with them along with photo ID when they visit your school.
