We all love a Panto with Buttons and a Dame, but if you don’t come this year, you’ll never know it’s name!

PANTO WITH NO NAME!
What’s this year’s Panto we hear you all ask, we need the Fairy to help save the day. What if the baddies are really to blame. Come down and help us, this show has no name!
Come and watch our award winning Panto on 7th-8th December at Sue Townsend Theatre, Leicester!
It’s that time again in Pantoland, but the Fairy and the Witch have had a HUGE argument! An Innocent Gnome was struck by their spell and now has no idea what his name is, or anything about himself! Our Panto heroes at Euphoria High School, have just 3 days left to find his name; or the Fairy’s powers, and Panto’s happy endings, will be lost FOREVER! Even the Professor can’t work out what the name is, and with evil Inspectors Cutit and Shutit keen on closing down the school, it’s a race against time to stop Whackit and Smackit bashing everyone’s dreams.
Can star pupil Sally and the Fairy stop their arguments and work together to save the day? Will No Name find out who he really is in time? And will Button’s Horse
