✨ WOW — that really is the only word for the absolutely amazing time we’ve had doing panto this year! ✨
Aladdin and the Pirates by Brian Luff was such a joy to perform — a fantastic script that truly worked for both our cast and our wonderful audiences.
We honestly cannot thank everyone enough who helped bring this show to life (and there are a LOT of you 🤣).
💖 First, our incredible Director, Choreographer, Production Manager and everything else in between — Katy!
Katy, you are amazing and we couldn’t ask for a better person to lead our productions — all while playing the Dame too! Thank you for your talent, dedication and for being you. This show was everything it was because of you.
👗 Our wonderful Maria — Head of Costume, Katy’s right-hand woman and the mum of WEPS!
Maria looks after every single adult and young person in our cast and crew and truly makes WEPS feel like home. WEPS wouldn’t be what it is without you — there really aren’t words big enough to say how grateful we are 💕
🎭 Our backstage and tech crew — WOW 🤩
You took Katy’s big ideas and absolutely smashed them! The set looked better than ever, the lighting and sound were spot on, and the props brought everything to life perfectly. With new faces joining this year too, you all worked together like one big family and it really showed on stage 💖
🍿 Our front of house team — thank you for always giving our audiences such a warm welcome and keeping everyone refreshed throughout the show. We are so lucky to have such amazing volunteers who give up their time to support WEPS — we truly appreciate every one of you 💕
🌟 Our amazing cast — including our beautiful WEPS JNRS!
What a talented group of performers you all are. The love, support and dedication you show for each other both on and off stage is what makes WEPS such a special family. We are so proud of every single one of you and can’t wait to see what we create next year 💖
👏 And finally, a huge THANK YOU to our wonderful audiences who came along to support us.
As a church drama group, we don’t have huge budgets — we fundraise and make so much ourselves — so hearing your lovely feedback about our costumes, props and performances means the world to us 💕
Thank you for supporting WEPS – West End Players 🎭
We can’t wait to see what we can bring to you next ❤️
