Pantoloons was founded in 1983 for the sole purpose of performing an annual pantomime by and for the people of the Braintree area. The aim was to put on a top class production while keeping ticket prices at an affordable level.

​

Over the years hundreds of different cast and crew members have maintained those aims and improved the shows year on year.

We now put on a show which is preferred by our audiences to professional alternatives.

​

Many people are involved in any one show and all work for free.

 

Each show costs thousands of pounds to produce but we receive no grants or financial assistance. We raise all the money ourselves with any profits not used for the use of the society being given to a selected local charity around the Braintree area.
