The people to blame for it all are Heather
and Chris Raw plus Bob and Ruth Whatley. Way back in 2005
Heather said how much she would like to write a pantomime
and (after a few glasses of wine) the other 3 said how they
would be "willing" to contribute!! These people became our
founding members and original committee members. (whom we
all have shrines in honour of)!!
Well it finally happened, Heather wrote her first
Pantomime "Cinderella" and they all waited for people to
attend auditions. The response was incredible and the
company has subsequently not only performed "Cinderella" in
2006 but also Heather's follow-up Pantomine
"Aladdin-The-Moon" in 2007.
Deviating from the Panto Genre, Leven Lites also
performed 2 evenings of "Three-for-One"; 3 x one act comedy
plays of which one was written by our valued member Val
Holmes (her first performed play) which was met with
resounding approval.
We are now in rehearsal for our 2009 Pantomime "Robin Of
Leven" which is based (very loosely) on Robin Hood and has
been written by another one of our members, Neal Edlin.
In conclusion, Leven Lites are here, and hopefully to
stay. Our members total 25/30 + - inclusive of senior cast
members, junior cast members and 'helpers', often the most
important ones who provide support to the budding
actors/actresses with costumes, props, backstage, front of
house (and encouragement)
