1958 Pratts Bottom First Ever Panto!

It’s been my pleasure to be involved with Pratts Bottom Dramatic Society (PBDS) for 4 pantomimes now, I make the props. I came in knowing nothing and had a warm welcome – if you’d like to be involved as show cast, Front of House or backstage; be it woodworking/DIY, making / adjusting costumes, the tech side of things with lights and sound or helping shift ‘stuff’ at the right times during show times it could be the same for you. Our producer Jack Holloway joined in his teens and now has a successful career in West End theatre – so who knows where this might lead you!

More than anything else you will find that the whole team pulls together so well to achieve the very best show we can all give. Why not join PBDS? https://www.prattsbottomdramatics.com/get-involved
