This year’s Panto, Aladdin, is loosely based on the Aladdin story most of us have heard from childhood. For those new to the Dolphin Playhouse, the holiday Panto has become a tradition, as this will be our fifth
Panto, following Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Rapunzel, and Beauty and the Beast.
Borrowed from the traditional British “pantomime”, Panto is a theatrical entertainment based on a fairy tale or nursery story, told in a broad and humorous way with music, sight gags, jokes about current events and plenty of slapstick
comedy.
Along with Aladdin and the Princess Jasmine, we have a talking snake, a monkey that does magic tricks, and not one but two genies. And of course, a pyramid that appears once in 1,000 years, complete with mummies
2025 Season Proposals Needed
The Dolphin Players are now soliciting proposals for productions and directors for the 2025 season. The Dolphin Playhouse is an intimate theater located in the historic Empire district. The usual season includes six productions, and the Dolphin Players are open to all genres.
Past productions have ranged from Cabaret to classic radio. The selection process begins with submission of a play proposal, followed by a presentation to the Dolphin Players board of directors. If a proposal is selected to be part of the season, the director will be supported throughout the process by Playhouse staff. Experience in directing is not required, and unpublished manuscripts will be considered.
For more information and a play proposal form, please contact Alice Carlson, Managing Director, by email at [email protected] or leave a message at the theater 541-808-2611.
