Dec 6, 7 and 12, 13, 14: SPAT Panto
The curtain is set to rise on 12 Hours ‘til Christmas, the 2025 SPAT pantomime, directed by the dynamic duo Tom and Katie Peach. This year’s show boasts a cast of 32, including 23 enthusiastic children bringing festive cheer through toe-tapping songs (thanks to musical director Catherine Rostrum) and dazzling dance numbers choreographed by the talented Rachel Kiddier – who also co-wrote the script alongside Christine Higgins. Rehearsals are in full swing, with the chorus channelling their inner baby chicks and a delightfully cheeky scene brewing between a farmer and his cow. The energy is infectious. Behind the scenes, if you’d like to get involved without stepping into the spotlight, we’d love your help. Whether it’s painting, building, or simply adding a bit of sparkle, there’s still time to join the fun.
Fridays: SPAT Singers
The Singers, directed by Lindy Sharp, are adding Christmas Carols to their repertoire, along with a beautiful little-known 16th century carol and other gems. Every year the singers bring the joy of Christmas to the residents of 2-3 local nursing homes. Come along to the Stanwell Park CWA Hall on Friday at 7:30pm. New members welcome!
