Pantoloons

Pantoloons is a community amateur dramatics group, putting on a traditional family pantomime, back at the institute for 2025. Come and Join us!

We rehearse on a Tues & Thurs and are always looking for new members. rehearsal starts at the end of September. Pantoloons was founded in 1983 for the sole purpose of performing an annual pantomime by and for the people of the Braintree area. The aim was to put on a top class production while keeping ticket prices at an affordable level. Over the years hundreds of different cast and crew members h

ave maintained those aims and improved the shows year on year. Many people are involved in any one show and all work for free. Each show costs thousands of pounds to produce but we receive no grants or financial assistance. We raise all the money ourselves, with charitable donations made to local or noteworthy charities from the profits of the show. Any comments or queries can be made by messaging the page :-)
