Twitpanto ’09
No full cast or story yet, but already the stars are clamouring for a part:
The Birmingham Hippodrome are sponsoring this year — they’re building us a proper set & will have some tickets to the real panto to give away.
You want in? Either leave a comment here, you’ll need to be free on the afternoon of Friday the 18th December:

FionaHandscomb says:
Yay. This is so why Twitted was invented, I’m convinced. Or panto. Or both.
How about we do some Chekhov next?…

Jon Bounds says:
@Fiona i think an audioboo of a women starring wistfull out of a window onto a desolate rural landscape is called for there.

Andy Mabbett says:
I’m ready for my scene now, Mr DeMille^W Bounds.

Alex Hughes says:
You can count me in, although I’d probably be best off in a curtain-pulling, scenery-designing kind of role…

Pete Ashton says:
Twitter magic is being slow so to be sure, can I have a part please! Missed it last time due to timezone traumas…
Speaking of which, do we have a date?
20 May 09 @ 11pm
Jon Bounds says:
Tis Teh Tweetback plugin, it does work – but slowly today to be sure. No date, no ideas, nothing (apart from Maggie Phillbin playing a robot) — just going to let this fester & burble till panto season.

Michael says:
I hope I’m already in too (again, guilty by association). This is very, very early though, considering last year it was arranged in a matter of days. Can we keep the enthusiasm alive over the next SEVEN MONTHS?
21 May 09 @ 7am
Jon Bounds says:
@michael nah, hold off on (any more than base) enthusiasm til December
It just slipped out, as the dame said to the principal boy.

chris says:
do I have to be in Brum to play my part?
23 Nov 09 @ 10am
Ewan Spence says:
Definitly up for that – can I be the mad Scottish uncle of the lead character who pops up and throws sweets at the audience while revealling a big secret plot device to the crowd (and the character, by mistake).
Best panto joke? What do you call two spiders who just got married? Newlywebs!
23 Nov 09 @ 10am
Chris Ivens says:
If I may be considered for a part please.
23 Nov 09 @ 10am
Jon Bounds says:
Course not — it’s on the twitter (although you may need to be in brum to take advantage of the Hippodrome’s offer of a free ticket for cast members)

Antonio gould says:
Go on then, I’m up for it! The last one had me in stitches..

Bring. It. On.

Sas Taylor says:
After dishing (& suffering – thanks, Paul Henderson!) the parps as the backend of the cow last year, I deserve a part where I can look pretty! Like a magic carpet. Or a beanstalk. Or SuBo…?!
*begs*
25 Nov 09 @ 9am
Sas Taylor says:
Should I fail to get a part I'm always available for other stuffs: makeup, costume, lighting, ice cream selling, pandering to the director's/leading actors' every whim…..
