Newsflash...........

Stan Stennett chooses Hawthorn
Details to follow...........

It is available mid-week, Fridays & Sundays only. 

There are many formats with each one rehearsed as a production show up to a 3 hours long. 

More shows are gradually being developed in rehearsals. 

The difference is that it is not a set number of artistes following each other, the whole show is packed with variety and presented as a mix of Solo acts, Duos, Comedy acts , costume changes, compere, together with a full lighting rig where budgets allow. 

We are developing and including our managed acts in these shows in conjunction with, amongst others, TPS productions, AV Dance, Anna Marie Thomas, and our own Spiral Marketing brand.

We do not produce or design these shows, we merely act as an agent to sell these shows for the various people that produce them.

For more details, together with publicity, contact us.

Main Event Promotions is a brand that mainly caters for the corporate sector, together with the development of area franchises, which we believe will form a large part of our expansion as a trading name of Hawthorn Entertainment Ltd.

Wrestling
We are delighted to announce a joint sole representation partnership with Pro Power Wrestling.
It’s fun, can be family orientated and caters to all members of the public.

It is the new clubland sensation that is filling venues up and down the country

PPW has a roster based around the country, and many of their wrestlers can be seen performing on their sister promotion LDN Wrestling, which has a television deal with Sky TV (The Fight Network, channel 427), and attracts weekly viewing figures of 250,000.

As you can see LDN mainly features the bigger stars in the videos at their site. The main reason for us featuring a link to this site is that we show a flavour of this massive industry.

All PPW need from a venue is an area big enough to set up the ring, which is 16ft by 16ft, and a room with a ceiling at least 12ft high.

This is a 2 hour show featuring up to eight wrestlers that is ideal for halls, theatres, social clubs and holiday parks. It can even be scaled down for children’s parties, birthday parties etc……….

For more details, Contact us

For some events, why not let Baron Von Grindle, for example, greet your guests or clients, as well as Dean Taylor as Little Britain, Borat, Ali G, Austin Powers or Ozzy Osbourne. 

Another favourite is the amazing actress / comedienne Karen Dalton who takes the part of Nana from The Catherine Tate Show to mingle again with your clients or guests using all the choice phrases from the show. (This video clip is from the real Catherine Tate show and does not feature Karen Dalton, it only shows the character that she portrays. - This may contain offensive material).

Tribute.biz is a separate division to cater for the ever expanding tribute market.

Spiral Marketing is our brand for Media Promotion, Corporate Branding, Design Services, Product Sales, Press Releases, Public Relations and much more.

2009 Pantomime

Our 2009/10 South Wales production is ‘Robinson Crusoe’,

This is another Christmas Favourite that also features a selection of songs that children are familiar with, not nursery rhymes that insult their intelligence.

Depending on the production, songs could feature artistes such as,Sugarbabes, Take That,Girls Aloud,etc...... plus many more......

The Show
Welcome aboard as Defoe’s classic book takes to the stage in this priceless performance, packed with music and laughter!

The Panto Company’s production of Robinson Crusoe is a delight for both children and adults. It's the tale of the heroic captain of the Good Ship Lizzie. His mission: to seek out wondrous treasures, discover strange new lands, and to boldly go where no action-packed adventure has gone before!

Yet, when Crusoe is shipwrecked, he has more than new lands and treasure on his mind. There’s his hilarious new friend, Man Friday; the beautiful Princess Moonflower; and of course, the wicked pirate, Captain Hogwash.

Hold tight – this panto travels at a thousand smiles an hour!

This is a much loved fairy-tale played out in the traditional Pantomime style with all the highs and lows, fun and villainy, boos and hisses you have come to expect from this romantic tale.

Fully costumed, with traditional scenery, and a self-contained light show, this Panto is played out by a professional team of actors and singers.

It is a must for the children, whatever age, whatever the venue, be it school, club or theatre.

Enjoyment is the only aim for the cast of Robinson Crusoe.
The producers of this show are The Panto Company who are solely represented by ourselves in Wales and the South West. Contact us for availabilities.

Our production can tailor the size of the show, due to expandable scenery, as well as the size of the cast, to perform in venues as diverse as small as pub lounges to national theatre tours.

When you book Cinderella, you get:

• Six Professional actors, each chosen to provide you with the best show ever.
• Amazing specially made costumes; each character changes costume at least twice.
• Incredible scenery, with at least two set changes! No other company does that!
• ALL actors on radio microphones – no more huddling around a couple of lead mics at the front of the stage.
• Up to date chart songs and dance routines that will have everyone singing along!
• Professional, self-contained sound and light systems that bring the excitement of LIVE Theatre to your venue.

We have given permission for local agents to sell this show on our behalf.

References are available from all major venues.
