Don Rae Academy provides pantomime workshops that introduce children to the lively world of panto through acting, movement, storytelling and performance.
Pantomime combines comedy, characters, audience interaction and performance, making it an engaging way for children to explore drama.
Panto workshops give children an opportunity to discover how performers bring a pantomime-style production to life.
Audience interaction is an important feature of traditional pantomime.
