CHRISTOPHER WOOD
Well here we are at the beginning of another exciting winter season and a new tale to be told in the same spectacular fashion as our previous productions here in Australia “Snow White” celebrates our ten year anniversary here in Australia.
We love the challenge that we have set ourselves by having to try and make each panto production even more memorable and funnier than the production before. Judging by the feedback from the family audiences, it seems that we have been succeeding every year.
I can guarantee the updated script of Snow White that I have written will have laughs a plenty but will still maintain the heart and soul of this fairytale.
I really hope that the “Snow White 2024” adventure will leave you and your family members having experienced a magical two hour ride of absolute joy and adventure.
