St Giles with St Mary’s Pantomime / Theatre Society has been performing an annual Pantomime at Pontefract Town Hall since 1950 and has a strong history in the town.
Each September when the main production begins in earnest we see most of the regular performers plus several new members all eager to begin rehearsing at St Mary’s Community Centre.
It is a very family orientated Society with our Performing Members are aged from 5 to 75. A boast of the Society is that several families of three generations can be seen either onstage or involved front of house, backstage or in an administrative capacity.
There are many ways people can get involved – not just on stage. The show wouldn’t go on if there wasn’t an active, hard working committee and a talented production team. There are also opportunities to help sew costumes, move scenery, provide refreshments, work with children, arrange social events, undertake administrative functions and deal with all the creative and practical arrangements required for a Society like St Giles.
We are also grateful for the support of local businesses who help in a variety of ways including sponsorship and placing adverts in the programme.
Please contact us if you would like to get involved.
