A Tale as Old as Teesside: Tom Rolfe Returns to Forum Theatre Billingham
with Beauty & The Beast
With over
20 years of pantomime history at Forum Theatre Billingham, North East performer
and producer Tom Rolfe is bringing families a magical new adventure this
February Half Term — and he shows no signs of slowing down.
For
many Teesside families, a trip to Forum Theatre Billingham has become as much a
part of February Half Term as the school holidays themselves. And at the heart
of that tradition is Tom Rolfe — a performer, producer, and North East
pantomime institution who has been delighting audiences at the venue for more
than two decades.

From Ensemble Dancer to Leading Producer
Tom's
story at Forum Theatre begins at Forum Theatre School, where a young Tom first
discovered his love of the performing arts. His pantomime debut came in the
2005 festive production of Cinderella, where he appeared as a dancer in
the ensemble. Over the years that followed, he continued to develop his craft,
returning to the stage in multiple Forum Theatre pantomimes and making his main
cast debut in Goldilocks in 2008, a production which also gave him the
opportunity to develop his circus skills.

From
performer to producer was a natural next step. Tom launched his first Forum
Theatre pantomime production in February 2018, and Tom Rolfe Productions has
been a fixture of the Billingham February Half Term calendar ever since. His
work has earned him a loyal following across Teesside and a strong reputation
as one of the region's most respected variety entertainers.
Beauty & The Beast Comes to Billingham
This
year, Tom Rolfe Productions brings the beloved classic Beauty & The
Beast to the Forum Theatre stage. The show opens on Friday 20 February and
runs until Wednesday 25 February, promising dazzling scenery, colourful
costumes, catchy songs, and plenty of laugh-out-loud comedy for the whole
family.
“I’m thrilled to be returning to Forum
Theatre Billingham! The crowds here are always incredible and they bring such
amazing energy to every show. I can’t wait to step back on stage and bring a
brand new adventure to life for families this February Half Term.”
— Tom Rolfe
With
high energy performances and a fantastic cast, this production looks set to be
another crowd-pleasing success from a man who clearly knows what North East
audiences love.
