Looking forward to having the Panto back with us next year.

    I played Widow Twankey in Alameda in 2005 - it was an absolute blast!!!! My friends who came to see me said i was born to be a Pantomime Dame. :-)

    My newest dream is to go to England and do a Dame role over there in a small production and become known as "The American Dame".

    I have a standing invitation to participate in the semi-annual Music Hall in Leeds whenever I can be there...

    Now to win the lottery and make it all come true (click heels 3x).

      Paul, oddly enough, there are TWO - count 'em - TWO theatre companies doing classic modern British panto in Sacramento this year! So it's now possible to get one's chops here on this side of the pond before sailing off to Old Blighty. The Panto marches on ...

          This rollicking holiday spectacle done in the English panto tradition - lots of cross-dressing and audience participation - is always a delight.
