Welcome to the University of Birmingham Panto Society!
We put on 3 large scale and 2 small scale pantomimes every year with auditioned and un-auditioned roles, giving you the opportunity to act, dance, sing and laugh to your heart's content!
PantoSoc is a great place to meet new friends and have fun, and outside of our shows we also organise lots of fun socials as a society and with other drama societies too. Last year we celebrated our sixth birthday which included throwing ourselves our very own birthday party with a cabaret show!
Panto celebrates inclusivity and diversity and we’ve been nominated for awards for this several times in the 7 years we’ve been running as a society. We are very proud to announce that we won the Diversity and Inclusion Award at the 2023 Guild Awards, and our President Ellie Littlewood just won Volunteer of the Year at the 2024 Guild Awards!
If any of this tickles your fancy, then follow our socials and become a member today - you know you want to! (Oh yes you do!)
