Company Pantomime
Imagine your HR Manger as the wicked witch?! Who would play Prince Charming?
And who could be the back end of a horse!?
We will research into your Company, and write a parody of Cinderella based on all the gossip, scandal and in-jokes that exists amongst your guests.
Typically, your guests would gather at 7.00pm for drinks which would then become an audition, during which many guests would be asked to participate in some humorous way. It is important to stress that no guest would ever be asked to do anything in any way embarrassing or difficult; and that the success of the evening does not depend on having extroverts with acting talent, as this will be provided by Paul Farris Entertainment!!
The auditions/cocktails last approximately forty minutes. During this time there would be a vote by acclamation as to which "actors" the audience would like to see get the parts. The Director then announces a break for dinner, and says he is going to consider long and hard before making his final choice; he then instantly proceeds to hand out a printed cast list, proving it was all a fix, and in fact none of the guests who auditioned appear on this list at all; the auditions are just an excuse to involve 12-15 different people!
During dinner, the chosen cast are taken back-stage, where they are costumed and made-up beyond their colleagues' wildest fantasies! Imagine "Cinderella" with the Ugly Sisters being played by your Sales and Marketing Directors. Imagine the Personnel Manager playing the Wicked Witch of the West; who would play Prince Charming and who would be the back end of the horse?
The fee includes 3 professional actors, a musical director and pianist, professional make-up artist, autocue operator and equipment, and dazzling costumes. It also includes the research into the Company, the original and highly personalised script, and the whole evening's entertainment from 7.00 to 10.30 p.m.
PLEASE NOTE: There is also an optional pantomime team building event which can precede this
show. This involves different groups set building, prop making, costume designing and even
creating comedy songs and dance routines to insert into the show.
