Christmas Pantomime

As an English-language Amdram Society it stood to reason that SETC should have its own pantomime and since its inception in 2008 the show has been gathering strength year after year. We have staged most of the traditional titles such as Aladdin, Cinderella, Dick Whittington, Peter Pan, Sleeping Beauty, Snow White and Jack & the Beanstalk with all the usual loud audience participation (it’s behind you!) that comes with Panto. Our rehearsals usually start in early September for performances scheduled on the first weekend of December. After using various Sitges venues, SETC has formed an excellent working relationship with the Societat Recreativa el Retiro whose 450-seater auditorium is well suited for a pantomime. Our cast now averages 45 actors, of whom approximately 30 are children. Moreover, a crew of some 20 dedicated helpers work very hard to make sets, props and costumes, and as dancing has become a major component of the show.

 

SETC is proud that its Christmas pantomime has turned into a very popular event in the Sitges cultural calendar.
