Behind the scenes with a panto dame

Island pantomime favourite, John Woodford, will share stories from his years on stage at a special talk, hosted by St Helens Historical Society, on Thursday, November 19.

A familiar face on the Island’s theatrical scene, John will explore the history of the pantomime dame, and entertain audiences with tales from his many years performing in Island theatres.

The talk, entitled ‘Stories of Pantomime Dames’, will take place at St Helens Community Centre, Guildford Road, starting at 7.30pm.

Admission is free for society members and £3 for non-members – cash only.

Everyone is welcome, with refreshments, a raffle, and the opportunity to join the St Helens Historical Society.
