The Wayfarers Pantomime Society welcome you to their website.

Based in Taunton, Somerset, the group has been putting on popular family shows since 1962. Now performing annually at the Brewhouse Theatre in Taunton, the group has grown from strength to strength. In fact in the last couple of years, performing in the Wayfarers has turned into a fun 12 month extravaganza with special appearances at charity events all year round!

Double Golden Celebration

This show week has seen us celebrating not one but two 50th anniversaries. Not only has this been our 50th year since the Wayfarers were founded but one of our members, Linda Howe, received her a golden bar to her NODA (National Operatic and Dramatic Association) medal for 50 years unbroken service to amateur dramatics in Taunton from Geraldine Brunton, the immediate past NODA President. NODA was also represented at this presentation by Nick Lawrence NODA regional rep and Mrs. Jo Wilson-Hunt Local District rep.

Linda was also congratulated on this achievement by Steve Brooks, Taunton Deane's Mayor, following Friday evening's performance and thanked by the Mayor for her dedication on behalf of the people of Taunton.

Following the Saturday evening show, Linda was also awarded the Gordon MacDonald trophy by Mac himself for her length of service to the society. A worthy award for the longest serving active member.

Cinderella meets Santa!

Cinderella and her friends met with Santa as he arrived a bit early and on the back of a motor bike at Monkton Elm garden centre's winter wonderland on Saturday 20th November. There was music, glitter and lots of laughter as visitors to the garden centre arrived to be welcomed by this merry throng.
