The closure of the Marlowe Theatre Canterbury left Panto Producers Evolution Productions with a problem – where to hold their annual Canterbury Pantomime, enjoyed by tens of thousands of people each year.
Entourage Live worked with Theatre Tent and the show’s Producers to design, build and commission a temporary theatre venue, fit for their Pantomime performance with full (over audience) flying, digital projection and full theatre facilities. Following months of planning and licensing work the venue was built in less than two weeks.
Gaining both a Premises License and Full Planning Permission was just half the battle. During the two weeks, well over 100 people were put to work transforming a disused coach park into a fantasy Pantomime land.
Entourage Live managed all aspects of ‘making it happen’ – working on all details with the clients to ensure that the show was delivered on time and on budget – as they say ‘The Show Must Go On!’ From seating and flooring to power, rigging and the venue itself, Entourage were able to manage and deliver all aspects of the event.
Entourage are pleased to be working with Evolution again in 2010/2011 to provide an even bigger and better temporary theatre venue for this year’s show, Robin Hood.
