## Objectives

Choose the pantomime production and agree the main planning actions for rehearsal, casting, publicity, technical setup and performances.

## Executive Summary

The group selected Cinderella over Aladdin because it was lower risk, more affordable and likely to sell better locally. They agreed follow-up actions for rights, hall booking, casting discussions, poster preparation and sound checks. The production plan also covered ticket pricing, two Saturday performances and contingency around the Prince role and faulty radio microphone.
