MULTI-AWARD winning, Warrington-based theatre company Soup Productions will be returning to the stage for their final performance of 2026, with their pantomime, The Christmas Heist.
It is the night before Christmas, and Santa and his happy helpers have the presents wrapped and all lists checked twice. Christmas was well and truly ready to be delivered Christmas to everyone. However; beneath the snow, a storm was brewing. Santa’s evil brother, Claws, and his mischievous tricksters have broken out of prison, planned to kidnap Santa and destroy Christmas for everyone! Will Santa’s friends be able to stop Claws and save Christmas and the seasons beyond?
This pantomime promises to be full of magic, cheeky humour and Christmas spirit to get everyone in the festive mood.
This year has been a busy and rewarding year for Soup; following four acclaimed performances and recently winning six Northern Stage Awards, including Best Drama for ‘Off Track’ – a play set at Warrington Central train station.
Soup’s focus is to encourage an inclusive and safe space for all creatives within the Warrington community, whether its onstage or behind the scenes, and the last year has proven that more than ever.
Soup Productions shows no signs of slowing down, with the forthcoming pantomime on its way and then a fantastic variety of shows in 2027, celebrating Soup’s 10-year anniversary, including ‘Dr Jekyll & Madam Hyde’.
The show runs on Friday 3rd and Saturday 4th July – 7:30pm start time/7pm doors open, at St John’s United Reformed Church, Stockton Heath, Warrington.
Tickets are £15.00/£12.00 concession. Family tickets at £30.00. Tickets are available at www.ticketsource.com/soupproductions
