THE Lowestoft Players would like to extend their sincere thanks to the wonderful people of Lowestoft and further afield, who continue to give warm, generous and enthusiastic support to the Players' annual pantomime, in their new end of January 'slot' at the Marina Theatre in town.

This year's production of Aladdin and his Wonderful Lamp saw us welcome well over 4,000 patrons, many old friends of ours, and many new faces, young and old, as well.

If we looked as if we were enjoying ourselves immensely, then it was because we were reflecting back the obvious and vociferous enjoyment of the show by our audiences throughout the week - oh yes we were!

We definitely couldn't do it without all our great supporters, that is for sure.

It is gratifying for us to see that community theatre pantomime is still alive and flourishing, not only here, but throughout the country. Long may it continue.

We look forward to seeing everyone again in pantomime next year as the traditional saying goes.

We are already well forward in our plans for Robin Hood - archery, sword fighting and generally having a good time are top of our 'to do' list.

Again a big thank you to all our friends out there, encouraging live theatre in Lowestoft.
