We are absolutely delighted to share some wonderful news from the regional NODA awards — our 2024 production of Beauty and the Beast has been named Best Pantomime!
Representing us at the ceremony was none other than John Dowell, the founder of Dreams’n’Wishes and the driving force behind so many of our pantomime successes over the years.
What better way to celebrate John’s remarkable panto career than with this well-deserved accolade? It is a fitting final curtain call for someone who has given so much to our stage, our stories, and our community.
This award is a tribute to the incredible team effort behind Beauty and the Beast — from the brilliant performers to the dedicated backstage crew, prop makers, tech team, and volunteers who brought the magic to life.
A heartfelt well done to everyone involved, and an extra special thank you to John for the legacy he leaves behind. Here’s to the next chapter — and to many more dreams and wishes coming true.
