Somerby Vaudevillians

Dodgy wigs, fake teeth, knitted marrows, men in lipstick, a homemade pantomime horse that poohs, cardboard props and little red riding hood sawn in half, goes in some way to give you a picture of the Somerby Vaudevillian’s annual performance.

Since 2009, Somerby Vaudevillians have been making original performances by using existing traditional pantomime plots which are twisted and adapted to comment on living in the Melton Mowbray parish of Somerby, Burrough, Pickwell and Leesthorpe

Each year the company begins writing in May, recruit as many local celebrities as they can persuade after a few drinks in the Stilton Pub and take the draft script in to rehearsals in September. During the rehearsal period the cast then improvise, develop and play with the script to create a unique, collaborative performance.

Somerby Vaudevillians has tapped in to the unknown creative talent in the village; writers, actors, set builders, prop makers, scenery artists, costume makers. Joining the Somerby Vaudevillians is free and open to anyone living in the parish, which brings together diverse group of people that may not have normally met. Working through the winter months laughing, sharing stories, supporting each other’s creative ideas has helped to solidify a community.

All profits made from the ticket sales, bar and programme goes directly back in to the local parish to improve facilities. None the less, this fundraising is a happy bi product of a project that truly captures the community spirit of working together while having fun in-dodgy wigs, fake teeth, knitted marrows, men in lipstick, a homemade pantomime horse that poohs, cardboard props, sawing red riding hood in half........
