Well… this rain isn’t exactly being subtle tonight.

If you’re already out in this rain, you might as well make the trip worthwhile.

Come on down to St Stephen’s Primary School and join us for Snow White. Dry off, warm up, and enjoy a proper night of laughs, mischief, and glorious panto madness.

What an absolutely incredible Opening Night.

Thank you to everyone who came to watch Snow White. The energy, the laughter, the reactions, it all made the night genuinely special. There is nothing quite like a first audience, and you were amazing.

To our supporters, friends, family, and loyal Atkinson Am Dram crowd, thank you for filling the theatre and making the show come alive.

We’re still buzzing, still smiling, and already excited to do it all again. 🎭

Only TWO HOURS to go…

The stage is set, the costumes are sparkling, the dwarfs are (mostly) under control, and the Wicked Queen is absolutely up to no good.

After weeks of rehearsals, last minute fixes, and just a tiny bit of backstage panic, Snow White is finally ready to burst onto the stage.

Expect laughs, mischief, magic, and all the glorious panto chaos you could wish for.

If you’re joining us tonight, get ready… it’s going to be a good one.

See you very soon 🎭

📢 Show Postponement Announcement

Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, we are having to postpone our upcoming production of Let Sleeping Wives Lie.

We know many of you were looking forward to the performances this October, and we are just as disappointed. However, we’re pleased to say that we plan to bring the show to the stage in October next year instead.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support. We can’t wait to share this brilliant comedy with you in 2026!
