Welcome
We are Caroline & Ellen Wilkinson and we run The Footlights. We are assisted by Annie Magill. We don’t get paid, we just do it because we enjoy it. It's not a business it's a hobby!
We all have an enhanced DBS certificate and a current first aid qualification.
Our aim is to give young people the opportunity to take part in a theatrical production. Through having fun, confidence is built up and anything becomes possible.
We aim to stage an annual pantomime with every member of The Footlights invited to take part. Over the past 10 years we have staged 5 performances over 4 days with most dancers taking part in 2/3 performances each. Each dancer is taught approximately 6 dances/songs to perform. Older members play the principal roles.
We have always performed our pantomimes at The Arc Theatre Trowbridge, but unfortunately this has now closed to community groups.
We have now found a new home and perform our pantomimes at The Dragonfly Theatre, Writhlington School, Radstock, BA3 3NQ
Everyone involved gives their time voluntarily, therefore any help you can offer will be gratefully received (e.g. sewing, ironing, publicity, etc.). We hold a raffle at each of our performances and ask for the donation of a raffle prize from each dancer taking part. You will not be expected to contribute towards the cost of taking part in any production with The Footlights.
