Could Britain’s Hottest Holiday Show Draw New Audience in Johnstown?
“Hi Ya!!” Band of Brothers Shakespeare Company is given it a go at the Grande Hall November 30.
All over England, theatres are selling out with the traditional panto. Pantos are famous stories and legends turned upside down.
Traditionally performed at Christmas and afterwards, with family audiences, British pantomime continues as a popular form of theatre, incorporating song, dance, buffoonery, slapstick, cross-dressing, in-jokes, topical references, audience participation, and mild sexual innuendo.
Early in 1723 the managers of Drury Lane produced a pantomime entitled Harlequin Doctor Faustus, which, constructed on a much more elaborate scale than those hitherto given at Lincoln's Inn Fields, may be considered the first English pantomime or “Panto”.
Pantos are not pantomimes. Everyone sings, jokes, and entertain. The characters are a cross between vaudeville and Monty Python. The audience is part of the play – booing and active in the performance.
In probably one of the only attempts at this form in the US, BOB presents Dick Whittington and his Cat, which is based on the real-life Richard Whittington (c. 1354–1423). Dick and escapes from his poverty-stricken childhood and makes his fortune – Lord Mayor of London - thanks to the ratting abilities of his trusty cat Apple.
Enter with a “Hiya!” Doug Meagher, Robb Miller, Ethan Leydig, Don Evanisko, Jenn Giuffre, Hayley Giuffre, Declan Cullen, Lou Horvath…. Take you to London for an adventure in laughter.

Band of Brothers Shakespeare Company
Let's take a moment and think about all things Shakespeare. Anyone who's ever read or seen a play, watched a movie, quoted a famous line, or just enjoyed an introspective moment caused by the simple act of being entertained can thank William Shakespeare and others like him. We've all been touched at one time by the writing or acting of another. We've been thrilled by the thought that someone out there feels the same way we feel, thinks as we think, and views the world in just the same manner.
Join us for our 2018 Season!
