The PwC Pantomime aims to bring joy to children and spark in them a life-long love of the performing arts by giving them the chance to see a theatrical production at a professional theatre. Each year, PwC gives away around 8,000 tickets to disadvantaged children from inner city schools and charities, in addition to providing free transportation to the show and a goody bag, courtesy of our generous sponsors. Special performances are signed for hearing impaired children and described for visually impaired children.
The Pantomime is put together by around 200 PwC staff and alumni who work on all aspects of the production in their spare time, covering everything from acting, singing, dancing and directing to script and lyric writing, costume design, make-up, lighting, sound, backstage crew, music arrangement and playing in the band. The PwC Pantomime is an important part of the PwC in the Community programme in the UK and is supported financially by the PwC Management Board and the fundraising efforts of the PwC Pantomime Production Team. Babes in the Wood will be the 36th PwC Pantomime.
Each year the Pantomime supports a different charity, this year PwC are proud to be working with Become.
