Day 5 of rehearsals and Keith is in the Green Room


Keith is the Acting Front of House Manager at Watersmeet and he's popped into the Green Room to tell us a bit about himself and what he's been up to this week.


Can you guess who Keith is in this picture of his first pantomime appearance?
Watersmeet (wmt) Keith, how many pantos have you been a part of now?
Keith: Over 20. I was in my first panto in 1946.

wmt: What's been keeping you busy in the build up to opening night?
Keith: Putting the F O H backup in place, sorting out duty manager cover and getting the rotas in place for the many volunteers who help us out over the panto period.

wmt: Have you had anything testing, tricky or particularly difficult to do this week?
Keith: Getting the computer to work

wmt: If you had to identify with a character from Aladdin, who would it be and why?
Keith: The Flying Carpet, zipping here and there, hither and thither never knowing where I am going to end up!

wmt: What's you favourite panto and why?
Keith: Babes in the Wood; a sweet story that's not done much now, sadly.

wmt: How will you be feeling at the opening performance of Aladdin and how will you feel when the curtain comes down on the final performance?
Keith: At the beginning I'll be excited and hopeful that the panto will be the best ever, at the end, very nostalgic.

wmt: What's your all time favourite panto and why?
Keith: Cinderella, I saw a young Julie Andrews in it back in the 50's, and Oranges and Lemons because it was the first panto I was in at the tender age of 5 in 1946!


Wmt: Thank you for stepping into the Green Room Keith. We wish you a very happy panto!
