Barrow Panto Group performers may
not have had much opportunity to
take to the stage this year, but they
have been winning awards!
The Pantomime Alliance of Leicestershire
is a committee of people who aspire to
promote and develop pantomime throughout
Leicester, Leicestershire and the bordering
counties of Derbyshire, Lincolnshire,
Warwickshire and Northamptonshire and
they presented Barrow Panto Group with
not one, but two awards this year. Oh, yes
they did!
Macauley Crossley won the Award for the
Best Male Support Role, and the production,
Humpty Dumpty, was awarded Runner-Up
of all the pantomimes that entered. Abi
Crossley, director of Barrow’s pantos, was
absolutely delighted and hopes to win first
place when they’re back after lockdown
with their next pantomime.
Abi is exceptionally proud of everyone
involved in the panto group and says
that she couldn’t wish for a better group
to direct. She says, “We have achieved
so much over the years and every year a
noticeable improvement can be seen.”
This award-winning panto group always
welcome new members, behind the scenes
as well as on stage. Don’t be shy or feel
intimidated. Make new friends, have fun,
work hard and develop new skills. If you are
