We aim to produce a quality pantomime that is fun for all the family, and which the local community can enjoy and afford. Take a well-loved fairy tale, tell it with affection and humour and children all over the world are fascinated and enthralled. Ask them to hiss the demon, cheer the handsome hero and shout their warnings to the good guys when the bad guys are around, and you are starting to bui
ld the noisy, excited atmosphere which is Harlequin Pantomime Productions. If it strikes you as odd that the hero is played by a good looking woman with to-die-for legs, and his mother is played by a tough looking man (who’ll sock any would be admirer in the jaw) well, it’s just another piece of this exciting jigsaw. Throw in some good tunes, some bad jokes, a touch of illusion, a dancing cow, and lots of slapstick, and you have a great big glorious Harlequin Pantomime Production. Harlequin Pantomime Productions was started in 2006 by a group of experienced people who all love Amateur Dramatics. Over the past seven years Harlequin Pantomime Productions has built up an excellent reputation for providing top class, quality Pantomime Productions. The company produces an annual pantomime which performs at our home, Perton Civic Centre, for one week each January, it’s aim being to produce a quality pantomime that is fun for all the family which the local community can enjoy and afford. Under the leadership of our Chairman and the superb talent and effort of our Cast, Producer, Musical Director, Back-Stage and Technical Team and Front of House Management Team, Harlequin Pantomime Productions continues to go from strength to strength enjoying sell out performances.
