Mendes Management brings the magic of panto to The Exchange

Cinderella

North Shields The Exchange

Tuesday 3^rd December - Sunday 22nd December 2019

Tickets are now on sale and are selling fast with almost all schools performances sold out…

This year we are performing at The Exchange in North Shields.  A fabulous hidden gem in the heart of the town.  This hilarious family production is written and directed by North East actor, singer and director Dale Meeks. Dale has maintained the tradition of Panto coupled with popular songs and of course a messy scene for the kids, which will guarantee to get the audience participating and singing along.

This year’s show looks set to be one of the best to date. They have a fantastic cast and magical costumes all designed and made by Charmain Hamilton.

Once again, the company has teamed up with Newcastle West End Foodbank, providing their clients the opportunity to experience the magic of panto. Alongside the Food bank we welcome ENGIE. ENGIE is supporting family's in the Tyne Wear area and enabling them to see the panto at The Exchange this Christmas.

Producer Danielle Mendes welcomes their third Panto. ‘My aim was and is always to make Panto affordable for all. ENGIE endeavours to help balance performance with responsibility, enabling progress in a harmonious way. To have this association with a company that has the same ethos as us, is a perfect match’

Our Choreographer this year is Jo–Anne Torre owner of Decote Dance school in Whitley Bay, who are thrilled to be part of this production.

The Cast:

Janine Leigh is a London actress, originally from Jarrow returns for her third panto playing Dandini.
