What We Do

 

 

The Royal Panto Players breathe new life into tried-and-true tales by presenting them in the enduringly popular, traditional British comedic style known as “panto” which features broad comedy, audience interaction and familiar characters to engage audiences of all ages.  Characters include The Dame: a comic, larger-than-life character played by a man; The Principal Boy: the romantic male lead and a ‘breeches part’ played by a woman; and The Villain who is always very mean and nasty and must be booed and hissed by the audience at every opportunity. Pantos are family shows but there are plenty of contemporary references, bawdy jokes and innuendo of the nudge-nudge wink-wink variety to keep the grownups laughing along. The Panto is a holiday and family tradition in Britain, Canada and Australia.

 

We are based in Indianapolis, Indiana. We also have a van and a GPS.
