OVER fifty members of Pershore Operatic and Dramatic Society (PODS) dressed in glamorous costumes - and a few Christmas jumpers - will fill the stage at Number 8.

There will be festive cheer aplenty at the theatre as PODS stage A Christmas Celebration from Monday, December 8 to Saturday, December 13.

The show is packed with songs, dance and comedy including a stirring rendition of Frozen’s Let it Go, a “potted panto”, Noel Coward classics and comedy sketches.

There will also be a spot of poetry, Christmas Carols and opportunities for audience participation in a Wassail section.

Performing twice a year at Number 8, PODS has a long history of successful shows, with last year’s panto Robin Hood winning a prestigious NODA prize. Celebrating their 25th anniversary this year, the society have welcomed back past members to join the current crop on stage at for a sparkling show.

The Saturday evening performance will be a gala show with mulled wine and party attire all around.

A Christmas Celebration will be performed at 7.30pm with a 2.30pm matinee on Saturday.

Tickets for the show, priced from £11 to £14, are available by calling 01386 555488 or online at number8.org.
