The theater board just confirmed the pantomime is back on the schedule. We kept the pressure up and forced them to listen to our community. Keep an eye on the official local listings to grab your tickets as soon as they drop.

As Theatre goers, residents of Fleet, and pantomime fans, we are highly disappointed at the desicion to cancel this year's professional pantomime in Fleet. (Particularly as the show for this year had already been announced!)

The panto has, over the past three years, raised thousands of pounds for local charities, and bought the community together. This is in no small part due to dedication of Amanda and the team at Tastic Entertainments - not just to the show, but to Fleet as a town!

We ask that this decision is reconsidered and that these wonderful shows will be allowed to continue to go from strength to strength and bring joy to our community.

(I, as 'author' of this, have no personal connection to the show or artistes - I just ADORE pantomime and love my town! SJ Hall)

Please don't close this pantomime. It gives so many students at my drama school, performance preparation academy such a brilliant opportunity for their first job in this rigorous industry. It is a real joy to be around.

Fleet Panto has become a tradition in our family. Grandparents, parents and children all thoroughly enjoy it, even my Neice and Nephew who are from Belgium come over and love it too. Save Fleet Panto!

My 7 year old grandson lives in Fleet and it is a great thing for him to go to Fleet Panto with his school and parents. To take it away would be a sad day for many a young child especially as it could well be their only introduction to 'Live Theatre'. Save it for it is Priceless!

We especially were looking forward to seeing the show this year. Seeing our own daughter Diana perform was a real pleasure in all the roles she did. Please do not let the Fleet Panto go. It means a lot to the local community. Amanda did a fantastic job putting this together.

Amanda's hard work brings so much fun to the town at Christmas and money into local businesses. If the council haven't made any money from it or made a loss (I don't know the figures) they should see it as an investment in our town.

Fleet panto is one of the best I have seen - a fully professional show, yet with the community spirit of the local village hall show. I just can't understand the logic in cancelling something that was bringing so much joy and friendship to the community!
