FD's Cinderella Pantomime Success

Cinderella 2025 – A Pantomime to Remember!

In 2025, Future Directions CIC brought the magic of the pantomime to life with our very own production of Cinderella and what an incredible production it was!

Our pantomime was created with one very important goal in mind: to give the people we support the opportunity to take centre stage, showcase their talents and Do Something New together.

The cast was made up of people we support from across Future Directions CIC.

Everyone brought their own unique personality, talents and enthusiasm to the production.

Bringing Cinderella to Life

From rehearsals and learning lines to costumes, music, dancing and performing in front of an audience, putting on a pantomime was a huge team effort.

The production was created and brought together by Kevin, our Music Man, alongside his right-hand man Stuart, with fantastic support from colleagues across other teams who helped make the magic happen behind the scenes.

And, of course, none of it would have been possible without our fantastic cast!

Our Cinderella 2025 stars included:

MOLLY as CINDERELLA

STEVEN as PRINCE CHARMING

MAZ as BUTTONS

HAZEL as the EVIL STEPMOTHER

Each performer played their part in making the production so special. Whether they were delivering lines, singing, dancing, making the audience laugh, every achievement was worth celebrating.

A Huge Success!

Cinderella was an absolute triumph!

The atmosphere was fantastic, the audience got behind our performers and there were plenty of laughs, smiles, music and magical moments along the way. Most importantly, the people we support had the opportunity to develop new skills and experience the excitement of being part of something truly special.

Seeing the pride on everyone’s faces as they performed was a wonderful reminder of the importance of providing opportunities for people to try something new, challenge themselves and discover what they are capable of.

And Then Came the Big Question… What’s Next?

After the huge success of Cinderella, there was only one thing for it…

We’re doing it all again!

We’re incredibly excited to announce that our 2026 pantomime is already in the works and this time we’re heading on a very special festive adventure with…

Peter’s Quest to Find Christmas!

Following the success of Cinderella, our performers couldn’t wait to get back on stage, and we are delighted to be bringing even more pantomime magic to Future Directions CIC in 2026.

Once again, Kevin, Stuart and our fantastic teams will be working together to create a production full of music, laughter, fun, and plenty of Christmas magic!

The Adventure Continues…

Our pantomimes are about so much more than putting on a show.

They are about creating opportunities, building confidence, developing skills, making memories and, most importantly, having fun together.

Cinderella showed us just how much can be achieved when people are supported to follow their dreams and we can’t wait to see where Peter’s Quest to Find Christmas takes us next!

A huge thank you to everyone who helped make Cinderella 2025 such a success, from our incredible performers and the teams supporting them to everyone who helped behind the scenes and everyone who came along to cheer our cast on.
