Easter Pantomime Scripts

A growing number of societies and youth theatre groups are discovering that Easter is an excellent time to perform pantomime. Audiences are available, venues are bookable, and the competition for family entertainment in late March and April is considerably thinner than in November and December. For groups who find the winter production season congested, or who simply want to give their company a second outing in the year, an Easter pantomime is a genuinely practical choice.

The scripts below all suit an Easter or spring production particularly well. Their settings and stories don't depend on a wintry atmosphere, and the comedy travels happily into any season. Several have outdoor or adventure-led storylines that feel particularly well matched to the time of year.

The scripts listed here vary in cast size, so it is worth thinking about your available company before settling on one. Easter productions often run with smaller casts than winter shows, partly because of availability during a busy holiday period. A useful starting question for your director and committee is whether you want a title that gives your whole company a substantial role, or one that concentrates the performance on a core group of strong leads with a supporting ensemble. Both approaches work well for Easter, and the answer will narrow the shortlist quickly. Request a free Perusal Script for any title that interests you, read it as a casting exercise, and you will have a clear picture within an afternoon.
