Welcome to the University of Birmingham Panto Society!
We put on 3 large scale and up to 3 small scale pantomimes every year with auditioned and un-auditioned roles, giving you the opportunity to sing, dance, act, and laugh to your heart's content!
PantoSoc is a great place to meet new friends and have fun. Outside of our shows we also organise lots of fun society-wide socials, and have socials with other drama societies too. Last year we celebrated our ninth birthday with a night full of live performances, dancing together and fundraising.
We love to celebrate and further the inclusivity and diversity of our society. Others celebrate it too, and we are very proud that we are repeat winners of the Inclusivity award at the 2023 and 2025 Guild Awards.
Check out our Linktree for all of our socials, tickets to upcoming shows and recordings of old shows! Linktree: https://linktr.ee/UoBPantoSoc
