Our Next Performance

Beauty and the Beast

Our next performance is our 2025 pantomime "Beauty and the Beast" - a traditional family pantomime suitable for all the family! We've got a fantastic original script, packed with comedy, magic, audience participation and live music. There are free puzzle sheet for children, as well as free glowsticks in the interval so they can join in with the magic in the second half!

All profits will be donated to the Hummingbird Centre, a cancer support and therapy centre in Launton who provide support for anyone who is on a cancer journey, and their loved ones.

Our Thursday morning performance will be a “Relaxed Performance”, aimed at those who might require a more relaxed environment. The show will be exactly the same but will involve the following adaptations:

• House lighting will be kept on at low levels throughout (apart from one scene which you will be warned about).
• Music will be turned down and there won’t be any very loud bangs.
• The auditorium doors will be left open so that you can come and go as you please. The foyer will be available to use as a chill out space.
• A visual story will be made available before the show.
• The main characters will be introduced before the show begins.
• The cast and crew will have an open attitude towards audience noise and movement.

Programme and Refreshments: You can pre-order your programmes as well as pre-show and interval refreshments (including hot and cold drinks, snacks and ice creams) when you purchase your tickets.

Accessible seating: There are 12 accessible step-free seats at floor level at the front of the auditorium for every performance. These seats will have freestanding chairs, which can be removed to create space for wheelchairs if needed. All other seating is tiered, and accessed via steps. The performance hall is approximately 170 meters from the car park. If you have any questions or access requirements, or require a disabled drop off point closer to the hall please contact us on tickets@launtonvillageplayers.org.uk or speak to our Car Park Marshalls on the day.

Performances will be from Wednesday 19th to Saturday 22nd February 2025, in Cooper School Performance Hall. You can buy tickets up to two hours before each performance starts. After that time, please come on the door and our Front of House team will accommodate you if there is space.

We hope you enjoy the show!
