National Lottery Funding In Wales
Quote from a social club client of ours;
“Thank you so much to The National Lottery Community Fund for supporting our project and awarding us £10,000. The Lottery have been very supportive the last several years and have really helped our club and community. We couldn't do half of what we do without their help and financial assistance.
After consulting with everyone that attended our trips, events, fundays etc it was evident that everyone wanted a repeat of last year, so that's exactly what we're going to do.
You will see us light up our Massive Christmas Tree, Pantomime, Trips, Events, Fundays and so much more.
Lots and lots for us all to look forward to!”

A little bit about our pantomimes

Pantomime To Your Venue!
Are you finding it difficult to book exciting, NEW kids' shows?
Then talk to Wales’ FASTEST GROWING theatre producers - Wize Productions in association with Hawthorn Entertainment Ltd.
We know how tough it can be to find exciting, original shows to fill your schedule and keep your audiences entertained.
When so many theatre companies these days seem to trot out the same, tired old productions or - even worse - an aged, done-to-death script with a title change that they then try to sell as a brand new show it gets a little boring !!
Luckily, we are different. Very different!!!!!!!
You see, everyone at our producers, Wize Productions, has come up through the business as Actors, Entertainments Managers, Bookers, Stage Technicians and more.
So, simply slapping a few nursery rhymes together and calling it a “kids' show” just doesn't work - we've all seen them at one time or another!
And, you know as well as we do, if the people in the show aren't enjoying it - your audience certainly won't be.
We promise that EVERY production you book from
Hawthorn Entertainment Ltd in association with Wize Productions, will be fresh, new and created especially for that run alone.
That's not to say we won't stage a second tour of a popular show - word of our productions spreads quickly.
Plus, our pantomimes are completely adaptable, and can be performed in your venue, no matter what its size or location, even including pub lounges.
Pantos are often a child's first experience of Live Theatre, so we know it's important that we get it right - and our audiences think we do.
