Frequently asked
questions
When is the next show?
Our next show is expected to be in February 2023.
How can I buy tickets?
Tickets for the next show will be available
online via this website, and by telephone.
What are the ticket prices?
This year (2022) we’re making some changes
to ticket pricing, especially for Saturday
evening, where prices will be reduced to
match those for the other shows. We’re
also re-introducing concessionary prices for
under 16s for the Saturday evening show for
the first time for 20 years.
Because of significant rises in the cost of
online sales, unfortunately we are having to
introduce a 50p per ticket booking fee. So
the total prices for all shows will be £8.50 for
adults and £5.50 for under 16s.
The Barkway Players
How can I get involved?
An open meeting is held every September. It’s the perfect time to join if you want to
perform on stage. We are always looking for help backstage and with front of house, and if
you are interested in those jobs you can usually join any time. Either way, we always
welcome new faces. We’re a friendly bunch, and being part of the panto is a great way to
get to know new people. Contact us via this website.
We rehearse on Wednesday evenings and, in the weeks before the shows, on Sundays.
And you don’t have to live in Barkway - provided you can get to rehearsals! People from all
over the area take part.
How can my children get involved?
As you may have seen, the pantomime usually includes lots of parts
for a junior cast. There is no need for children to come to the open
meeting. Recruitment takes place through local schools - or you can
contact us through the website and the junior cast director will get in
touch.
Where do you get your scripts from?
We write our own scripts, produced from the
fertile imaginations of our very own creative
team.
Yes, we know. Don’t worry, we’re keeping a
close eye on them.
