Panto season is an important part of the British theatre calendar and as someone who earned his early credits in theatre including panto, our creative director JamesC has been working with a dear friend and associate of the Lost Creatives: actor Alex Robertson who will be this year, part of the cast of Baltic at Cumbernauld Theatre (aka Lanternhouse).
Starting on the 22nd of November, Baltic is going to be a family friendly show with one of our favourite actors in Alex as Dame Agnes Avalunch, however, there is some sad news in this: Cumbernauld faces major issues concerning patronage and financial support that could lead to issues later in 2026 and they are looking for support.
Theatre in all its forms from community groups with a micro budget to professional shows with a large budget offer a place for people to earn their craft from makeup artists to set design, costume and props and so much more. Bigger than just a place to see a show, a theatre is where skills are earned and talent shines.
If you are training in media or theatre skills be it behind the scenes for on stage/in front of camera, there is an important place in this for theatres of any size and we want to share support for the team at Cumbernauld and hope they reach their targets and continue their hard work.
