Pantomime Season in the UK

It is Pantomime season in the UK, also known as "Panto".  This is not to be confused with "Mime."  Panto in the UK is a form of musical comedy which includes songs, slapstick, dancing, audience participation and is usually geared towards families (but there is adult humor).  Most importantly it  combines local humor with a story loosely based on a well-known fairy tale.  Many local amateur drama clubs put on a show usually starting in November and it lasts until the end of January.   This year I took the kids to see "Snow White and the Seven Blokes" at the village Church.

It is very common for male actors to take on female roles:)

Very cute kids singing and dancing

The seven (actually only six) blokes.  One actor played the part of the seventh bloke.

light saber sword fight--kids loved the star wars humor in the play

lots of humor

We had lots of fun and it was a very nice evening out.  Kids are still remembering some of the humor of the play a week later:)
