My First Panto: Goldilocks and the Three Bears will run at The Garage in Norwich from November 27 until January 10 and My First Panto: Cinderella Rocks from December 16 to January 3 at sister venue The Workshop in King’s Lynn.
They have been created by Norwich-based theatre company All-In Productions, who have performed at both venues before, and are interactive shows aimed at children aged seven and under and their parents.
The new socially distanced pantos follow the success of The Garage and All-In Productions’ Covid-19 secure production of My First Show: Little Bo Peep as part of the recent Interlude festival held in a big top tent in Norwich’s Chapelfield Gardens.
