Culford School Sponsors Aladdin Pantomime

We are so pleased to have Culford School as our pantomime sponsors this year and we’re really looking forward to working with them and their students.

“We are delighted to begin working with Culford School, and looking forward to working closely together, as they sponsor our legendary, award-winning pantomime. We’re enormously grateful to them for this investment in the pantomime, our biggest annual in-house production. Our sponsors are hugely important to us – Theatre Royal is a registered charity, heavily reliant upon private support. Income through sponsorship is crucial to enable us to remain financially robust and continue to offer all that we do for the community of Bury St Edmunds and West Suffolk.   “- Emma Suckling, Head of Development, Theatre Royal.

Culford School have fantastic arts facilities including a LAMDA programme for budding performers and theatre creators. Find out more about their arts facilities here.

Clare Bentley, Culford School Head said: “We are absolutely delighted to be sponsoring this year’s pantomime at the historic Theatre Royal. At Culford, we believe that the arts are a fundamental part of human culture and an appreciation and understanding of them is key to being a fully developed person. Supporting our local community and the vibrant artistic heritage of Bury St Edmunds is something we are truly passionate about and we could not be prouder to play a part in bringing this magical tradition to life.”

Our annual pantomimes include a young chorus of 16 people from all over West Suffolk! They go through an audition process in September and then work with our professional cast and creatives to become an integral and wonderful cast, split into two teams that perform throughout our run! We can’t wait for you to see Aladdin!
