Twelve members of the Oasis Academy Immingham recently took part in the Methodist Chapel’s 39th Pantomime, performed by members of the Trinity Methodist Youth Club and Friends.
This year the Pantomime was Dick Whittington, written by Rob Till, a Drama Instructor at the Academy, and directed by Phil Brooks, Learning Director of Drama, who also starred as King Rat.
Seven performances took place over two weekends and over 700 people came along to see this popular annual community event.

Aye mate! And welcome to limbo! Problem: I have no idea what page you're trying to work on. You need to define a body ID in the template, then turn on the necessary rows and columns in layout.css. Arrrrgh!
