Ptolly, you just beat me to it...

Anyway, sign me, my fairy wings and fairy dust up for a part, whatever size!

I think that anyone not wanting to actually be in it but willing to help decide on cast/settle casting disputes/produce scenery etc should also make themselves known.

And if you have a preference for a small/big role.

OK, I've waffled enough...

I wanna role, I wanna role. Can I have a roll in the gutter too?

I spotted half a baguette in the gutter earlier if that helps, mate?

Me, please. I've got ever such a big box of dressing up clothes. I think Jon would be great as Buttons. Rob and Dave as the Ugly Sisters ? Or if we perform Dick Whittington, can I be the cat ?

Was it half a baguette, or was someone pleased to see you?

I hereby volunteer for the pantomime. So does Minsky, apparently. He doesn't want to act, but he said he could "make himself useful", whatever that means. I suspect it might mean book-jumping into the text and tweaking a few roles here and there!

Does this mean tweaking roles so that people can be less offended by them?

And has anybody read my fairytales? (Yes, that was shameless plugging)

Oh yes, an afterthought. If you wanted pictures of the cast ratehr like my fairy is I volunteer to do them. For the programme, as it were.

I read them and think they're great, Sarah.

A concert programme is an EXCELLENT idea - even if (GSD forbid!) we don't actually get the Panto off the ground we should still publish a programme!

What we'd need really is some kind of webpage for the script that we could all edit to get the best range of jokes in.

Suggestion for an older 'female' looking for younger 'male' character to ask "Where's my virile youth"

Omnes: It's behind you!

I'll give being in the panto a go, although as a non-Brit I'll probably need lots of coaching ...
