UK - Pantomime season, and White Light reports that it is supplying equipment to pantomime productions of all scales - from complete lighting rigs for West End theatres to additional effects or moving lights for smaller venues expanding their house rigs to provide the extra sparkle that these shows demand. The list includes no less than 12 different versions of Snow White! Among the shows using equipment from White Light in London are a number productions by Qdos Entertainment, one of the leading national pantomime producers: these include Beauty and the Beast in Hayes, Dick Whittington in Richmond, Peter Pan in Southampton and Southend, Aladdin in Tunbridge Wells and Wimbledon, Snow White in Woking, Cinderella in Wolverhampton as well as the West End pantomime Snow White at the Victoria Palace Theatre. White Light's equipment will also be found lighting Mother Goose at the Watford Palace Theatre, and London's second West End pantomime, Aladdin at the Old Vic, starring Sir Ian McKellen.

The London company is also supplying equipment to The Wizard of Oz in Gravesend, school Christmas productions of Jonah at Ravens Park School in Hammersmith and Me and My Girl at Lancing College in West Sussex, as well as amateur productions of Jack and the Beanstalk, produced by PLOS at the Putney Arts Theatre, and Snow White produced by the Oxted Players at the Barn Theatre in Oxted.
