Bognor Regis gets ready for panto!
It was September sun outside, but inside thoughts turned to the festive season last Friday as the cast enjoyed its first get-together for this year’s panto at the Alexandra Theatre at the Regis Centre.
Peter Pan will open on December 16 and run through until January 3 (01243 861010).

“Peter Pan is a very special production with a great cast and its important Great Ormond Street connection.
“Our wonderful volunteers are ready to welcome everyone to the Alexandra Theatre.”
A big part of the attraction for show director Bev Berridge is that he knows in advance he will have a great audience in Bognor.

Not so Bognor: “We have been doing panto in Bognor for six or seven years; we have got to know the venue; and we know what works, what os right for the venue we have got.
“And this is a really good panto venue.”
