When the script calls for a selfie… you know George and Luke are going to take it seriously! 😂

Our Woodsmen have been perfecting their poses for a rather important moment in Red Riding Hood… and naturally, they’ve been practising in every spare minute! 🤳

We won’t spoil the scene just yet, but let’s just say these two are quite the double act!

🎟️ Tickets are on sale now! Come and see what these two get up to in February!

We couldn’t let the Commander dance trend pass us by without getting the real bosses of BADCo involved! 😂🔥

Safe to say they’ve got the moves… now we just need to make sure they remember the choreography for Red Riding Hood too!

Just another day of fun and mischief at BADCo!

We’re excited to announce that, for the very first time, we’re adding a RELAXED PERFORMANCE to our pantomime schedule!

We usually perform four shows, but this year we’re adding a fifth, making Red Riding Hood even more accessible and welcoming to our community 🥰

So, what is a relaxed performance?

It’s the same fun-filled BADCo pantomime you know and love, just with a few adjustments to create a more comfortable theatre experience.

💡 House lights will remain slightly brighter.
🚶 You’re welcome to leave and re-enter if needed.
❤️ There’s a more relaxed approach to noise and movement.

Whether you’re attending with young children, have additional sensory needs, or simply prefer a more relaxed environment, everyone is welcome!

We’re really proud to be taking this step towards making BADCo’s productions more accessible, and we hope this extra performance means even more people can enjoy a little panto magic! ✨

Apparently, giving three grown adults noses that make silly noises is all it takes to bring rehearsal to a standstill! 🐽

We’re not entirely sure how much rehearsing got done, but there was certainly plenty of snorting! 😂❤️

Just another Thursday evening with BADCo! 🎭🌲

14/10/2026

Over £51,000 raised for charity… and counting! 🎭

Did you know that behind all the outrageous costumes, terrible jokes, catchy songs and cries of “HE’S BEHIND YOU!”, there’s something even more special at the heart of BADCo? ❤️

Giving back to our community.

From small local organisations to national charities, every production has given us the opportunity to make a difference beyond the stage.

And none of it would be possible without the wonderful people who support us year after year. Our audiences, cast, crew, volunteers and everyone who helps make a BADCo production happen. ❤️

And the story doesn’t end there…

With our 2027 production of Red Riding Hood, we’re delighted to be supporting Gloucestershire Young Carers, helping us continue a tradition that’s been at the heart of BADCo for decades.

So whether you’ve bought a ticket, attended a fundraiser, donated a raffle prize or simply cheered us on from the audience, THANK YOU! ❤️

We’re excited to be joining the Autumn Craft Fayre at Ashleworth Memorial Hall later this month, and we’d love to see you there!

📅 Saturday 31st October 2026
🕙 10am – 12:30pm
📍 Ashleworth Memorial Hall, Nup End, GL19 4JG

We’ll be bringing along a lovely selection of handmade crafts, including knitted and crocheted Christmas gifts, perfect for getting a head start on your festive shopping! 🎄🧶🎁

We’ll also be there chatting all things Red Riding Hood, our upcoming February 2027 pantomime! 🐺🌲

And the best bit? Every penny we raise from our craft stall will go towards our production costs. By helping us cover the expenses of putting on our show, you’re helping us maximise the donation we can make to this year’s wonderful chosen charity, Gloucestershire Young Carers. 💚

So pop along, say hello, have a browse and perhaps pick up a little handmade something while supporting a great cause!

A little behind-the-scenes BADCo magic…

While our cast are busy learning lines, songs and dance moves, there’s a whole lot happening away from the stage too! 👀🎭

Our fabulous costume team have been putting their heads together, sharing ideas and starting to plan the looks for this year’s Red Riding Hood! 🐺🌲

From the wonderfully wacky to the fabulously glamorous (and everything in between!), there’s plenty to think about when it comes to dressing a panto cast! 👗✨

We can’t wait to see their ideas come to life over the coming months. ❤️
