You’re carriage awaits! Join the panto fun at Leiston Film Theatre this January.

Team B Productions invites you to have a ball at the Fairy Godmother of all Pantomimes, Cinderella, appearing LIVE at the splendid Leiston Film Theatre between the 17th and 19th January 2025.

With one less performance this year, tickets are already in big demand, with seats for some performances already limited.

Join Cinderella on her quest to win the heart of the dashing Prince Charming, with a little help from her best friend, Buttons, and the enchanting Fairy Godmother. But with her Wicked Stepmother and evil Ugly Sisters determined to ruin her chances, and with the clock about to strike midnight, will Cinderella manage to win the Prince’s love, before the spell is broken?

The Pantomime has been written by Wayne Burns and is being brought to the stage under his ‘Team B Productions’ title – a group of experienced am-dram performers, whose previous sell-out successes have included shows at Leiston Film Theatre and at the Spa Pavilion Theatre in Felixstowe.

Cinderella promises another fabulous family pantomime, packed to the panto brim with family fun, sing-along songs and enormous effects, plus a huge helping of audience participation, and plenty of laugh-out-loud slapstick nonsense.

Work is also underway on a brand-new comedy-drama, to be staged at Leiston Film Theatre in September 2025. Inspired by the iconic sit-com, Hi-de-Hi and set in a Suffolk holiday camp in the 1980s, Mourning Campers follows the drama on stage and behind the scenes at Archer’s Holiday Camp. Tickets are scheduled to be available from Monday 20th January.

Film Theatre manager and Pantomime director, Wayne Burns, is looking forward to bringing Cinderella to the stage. “Cinders is probably the most beloved rags-to-riches Pantomimes of all time but is also a logistical nightmare to stage! The entire cast and crew work as a team to make it all happen and everyone cannot wait to bring our brilliant script to life on stage and perform for such appreciative crowds. Our audiences will have a ball” he said.

The Pantomime sees renowned Suffolk musician Tom Horton returning as the Musical Director and the energetic students from the Chloe Kinrade School of Dance will be making a welcome return to the stage, as part of the Pantomime extravaganza.

So, grab your silver slippers and make sure you book early to avoid missing the ball!

Cinderella will be appearing live at the Leiston Film Theatre on Friday 17th (7.30pm), Saturday 18th (3.00pm and 7.30pm) and Sunday 19th (11.00am & 3.00pm) January. Limited tickets are now available, priced £18.95, £17.95 and £15.95.
