Hong Kong PLayers Pantos Dating back to 1889
Our first Panto series dates back to 1889 when The Hong Kong Amateur Dramatic Club, founded in 1844, staged Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves. Hong Kong archivist, Carl T Smith, highlighted the sense of community that the Panto created as it “enlisted a great many people for the leads, chorus and orchestra” (1982, p.230). The Hong Kong Players continues this sense of togetherness as it turns strangers into friends both on stage and off, with its annual Panto.
We are honoured to carry on the tradition of the Panto, which helps us raise money to continue staging performances within our community throughout the year. Even through the hardships brought about by COVID-19, we were determined to bring theatre to our valued audience and community, and the Panto was the perfect way to keep us together.
