As the name suggests we are a company dedicated to the art of traditional British Pantomime. Based at the Concordia Theatre, Hinckley (one of the finest amateur theatres in the United Kingdom), the company produces the annual spectacular traditional pantomime at the venue. Pantomime Company was formed in 1997 to continue the strong tradition of pantomime already established at the Concordia Theatre by previous companies and is now affiliated with both the Concordia Theatre & The National Operatic & Dramatic Association (NODA).
Playing for 26 performances the shows consistently attract full houses. Pantomime Company productions represent the very best standards in amateur theatre, with specially designed scenery and costumes, professionally produced musical arrangements, and quality scripts. The amateur cast regularly appear opposite international speciality acts.
