Annual Pantomimes

Every year, we bring a burst of magic and laughter to the community with our much-anticipated annual pantomimes. These family-friendly productions are a highlight of the year, offering an unforgettable experience for audiences of all ages.

Our amazing cast and crew work tirelessly to bring these beloved stories to life, ensuring every performance is filled with joy, excitement and a lot of laughs!

What truly sets our pantomimes apart is the incredible dedication behind the scenes. From the dazzling handmade costumes to the meticulously crafted props and scenery, every detail is lovingly created to transport you to a world of enchantment.

Summer Shows

During the summer season, we bring you a spectacular show packed with entertainment and fun! Our summer productions are a mix of singing, dancing, and comedy sketches that promise to keep you smiling from start to finish.

Over the years, we've done it all—offering something for everyone. Whether it’s the glitz and glamour of the West End or Broadway, the suspense of a Murder Mystery, or the toe-tapping tunes of a Big Band spectacular, our summer shows are always a hit. We've even taken audiences on a musical journey with productions like Barnum and our very own TAPS Tunes FM.

Other Events

We do more than just performing on stage for our annual shows—we're an active part of our community. In addition to our on-stage productions, we are proud to contribute to local events and fundraisers throughout the year.

We've had the pleasure of performing at a variety of events, including those hosted by Chard Rotary Club, Chard Museum, and Thorncombe Sports and Social Club. We love bringing our energy and entertainment to well-known community events such as Chard Carnival, the Santa Float, and Chard Halloween Night.

Our Creative Team

We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again… we make our props, scenery, and costumes in-house! Every year, countless hours are spent planning, designing, painting, and assembling our props to ensure that our stage is perfectly set for each show.
