School Pantomimes
and Theatre in Education

Big dreams but small budgets? You want to inspire your students? But you've got a timetable, a budget, and a headache. School pantomimes are a fantastic mode of education. But organising a trip for 300 children on coaches to the nearest theatre is... intense. It requires risk assessments, permission slips, time and money. That's less time in class, and less money in the budget.

That's why schools choose Shooting Star Entertainments.
