American pantomime
American pantomimes, sometimes called pantos, are theatre entertainments that have been presented in the United States of America since 1876. The works are derived from the distinctly English entertainment genre of pantomime, either played as they would be in Britain or adapted for the American stage and American audiences. Pantomime in America, as in England, is usually performed at Christmas time. The entertainments, aimed at families, are based on nursery stories and fairy tales, and they incorporate songs (traditional, popular and new), slapstick comedy, often topical jokes, magic, occasional cross-dressing, local references, audience participation, and mild adult innuendo. Although little-known in America today, occasional productions of pantomime, both professional and amateur, can be found.
