    SPRING 2018 14 GE PA EE - S N BOX OFFICE EO 0121 704 6962 TCH CU MC thecoretheatresolihull.co.uk INE MART THE CORE EXPERIENCE! Welcome all to another packed Spring-Summer season at Solihull’s Core Theatre. Those of you who have visited our panto over the last two decades may know that Solihull’s ‘Mr Panto’ Malcolm Stent is hanging up his frilled shirt and golden waistcoat and stepping down from his mammoth role after 27 years! He’s built the show into a family favourite and was thrilled to be honoured in Her Majesty’s New Year Honours list for his ’Services to Entertainment’. He enjoyed a fabulous day at Buckingham Palace in the Summer and is rightly proud of his medal. He decided to make Jack & The Beanstalk his last panto but, like any true stage pro he won’t stop working… so he’ll continue to write and perform, here and around the Midlands. We’ll continue to stage professional pantomimes here and the show will be ‘re-booted’ next year or as they say in Dr Who… regenerated! We’ll continue to welcome back our family audiences of all ages continuing our fantastic pantomime tradition here in Solihull. It’s tricky to pick season highlights as our audiences are so varied but The Reverend Richard Coles fresh from BBCs Strictly Come Dancing show is here on Tues 30th Jan, see page 4. G Dear Zoo , the popular children’s book has been beautifully adapted for stage RE AT for the first time, see page 7.
