The start of the pantomime season is a very busy time for everyone at the theatre over the festive season so our Christmas party was held last night.
We have a great new bar and bistro now (opposite our Stage Door) called, appropriately, StageSide so the party was held there. Staff finish work at different times here so technical and front of house staff arrived after curtain down and we were all pleased that the panto cast came across after the show too. Our Sheriff of Nottingham, Peter Gallagher, was strutting his stuff on the dance floor and Paul Zerdin (Will Scarlett) was chatting away to theatre staff by the buffet table. And it was great to see the brilliant dancers and singers from the show livening up the dance floor to Abba and Grease tunes - always a pull for any theatrical!
We hold a raffle at our Christmas party. All the money raised last night will be donated to Birmingham Children's Hospital Cancer Ward - am pleased to say we've nearly reach our target - fantastic!
Party over though - it's all hands on deck front of house for today's matinee at 2pm - there's no business like showbusiness!
