The Wizard of Oz: The Panto

The Wizard of Oz-The Panto is a boisterous, family-friendly theater event filled with slapstick, witty dialogue and a few wink-wink jokes for the adults. Every Panto is based on a well known story adapted to include popular songs and funny and outrageous characters who will get both kids and adults shouting, laughing, and having a wonderful time. Our production this year follows the classic adventures of Dorothy, Scarecrow, Lion and Tinman. Boo at the Wicked Witch, laugh at the flying monkeys, and cheer the outrageous Dame, Auntie Em, as she pursues her quest for love. -- Pantos are wildly popular in England because it is truly an all-ages holiday show. You will be hard-pressed to decide if is a kid's show that also appeals to adults, or the other way around.

The goal of Panto is creating joyous fun for everyone. So bring your loudest voices and with your help, Dorothy may discover her heart's desire.

The Portland Panto Players is a non-profit community theatre group dedicated to producing authentic British Panto. Formed by Art Kohn and Jane Clark in 2017, the Players welcome all comers.
