THE Princess Alexandra Auditorium (PAA) in Yarm Pantomime is going ahead.

Tom Rolfe Productions will be returning to the venue on the Yarm School Campus for the third Christmas running.

Producer Tom Rolfesaid: "I am really glad that we have found a way to make the pantomime work this year at The PAA. The auditorium will be completely socially distanced, audience members will need to sanitise their hands on arrival and wear a mask if they are over the age of eleven and book in their household bubbles of no more than six.

"We will be giving the auditorium a deep clean between each performance with a state of the art ‘fogging’ machine and there wont be an interval in order to avoid mass toilet queues. The show will run approximately 70 to 80 minutes. Apart from that the panto will be just as funny, family friendly and festive as every other year! I truly think panto will provide the perfect tonic this Christmas!"

Tickets are available now and are priced at £11.50 each if booked before October 4.
