News - Index - RAF Stage Performers on Show

RAF Lyneham’s Theatre Club - The Snow Queen
He's Behind You! - Oh No He Isn't!
27th January 2006
Foiled again! Igor the hunchback henchman fails to capture Gerda, a gentle loving little girl, for the Ice Queen, a cold hearted woman determined to children’s hearts into ice.

RAF Lyneham’s very own pantomime, The Snow Queen is currently being shown in the Julianna Goss Theatre on the RAF airbase.

The show opened today, and in typical panto spirit, had the audience in stitches throughout. This is the first time the pantomime has been opened to residents in the local community and it has virtually sold out.

   


Lyneham Theatre Club is made up of actors both service and civilian who all have a connection with the Air Force and who have been giving up their free time since October to rehearse for this years Pantomime. The Theatre Club is famed for it’s attention to detail and high standards and has won more awards than any other RAF Station for its stage shows.

To prepare for the opening night, children from Burton Hill School in Malmsbury, were treated to a private viewing as the cast performed their dress rehearsal.

Flt Lt Crispin Chapple, Officer in Charge of The Theatre Club said, "All the hard work over the last three months has really paid off. It’s been great fun getting to know new cast members and we have worked well together as a society. Once you get over the nerves, its quite a buzz being on the stage and seeing all the faces smiling back at you."

Group Captain Atherton, Station Commander RAF Lyneham also attended the opening show and said: "It was a really enjoyable evening, the performers were all excellent. I am amazed at how the actors have the nerve to get up on stage and do what they do. I could never do it!"

If you miss this years Pantomime, you have another chance to see Lyneham Theatre Club’s excellent acting skills in their One Act Plays staged in May 2006.
