Last Sunday (16 Feb) saw the announcement of nominees for The Great British Panto Awards – and we were delighted to receive a nod in 3 categories.

Our production of Beauty and the Beast at the Gordon Craig Theatre, Stevenage picked up 2 nominations. Firstly Jason Addison for Best Lighting and then Grace Lancaster (Beauty) for Beast Leading Female. Completing the trio of nominations is Flik Swan for Cinderella at The Central Theatre, Chatham – in the Best Director category.

The winners will be announced at the awards ceremony which will be held at the Shaw Theatre, London on Sunday 26 April 2020.

It’s brilliant to have our have some of our pantos from the 2019-2020 season recognised in these nominations … and we think all of the JP team are winners!
