Just Imagine – The Pantomime & Family Theatre Podcast
Go behind the curtain of pantomime and family theatre with Just Imagine, the podcast from Imagine Theatre, one of the world’s leading producers of professional pantomime.
Join host Martin Ballard as he meets the performers, creatives and people who bring the magic to life. Hear their stories, discover what really happens behind the scenes and find out the answer to that all-important question: what do they do for the rest of the year?
Along the way, we explore the wonderful world of pantomime: its traditions, its history, how productions are created and why this uniquely British form of entertainment continues to delight audiences across the UK.
Whether you’re a panto fan, a theatre lover or simply curious about what happens behind the curtain, Just Imagine gives you a fascinating and entertaining insight into the people and stories behind the magic.
