Ingleton Theatre Group are performing the pantomime ‘Jack and the Beanstalk’ at Ingleborough Community Centre at 7pm from Wednesday February 25 to Friday, February 27 and at 6.30pm on Saturday, February 28.

Directed by Liz Cartmell and Shelagh Fagan, and produced by Carl Lis, this is the Group’s 38th production which showcases the diverse skills of one hundred volunteers working together across different roles.

These include actors, painters, carpenters, dress makers, technicians, choreographers, hair and make-up artists, chaperones, caterers and local Scouts, as well as admin and support staff, who make up a talented team.

The story weaves a whimsical and adventurous tale that combines classic fairy tale elements with new twists, featuring characters like Dame Spriggott, her sons Jack and Jimbo, a Giant and his wife, Verruca, as well as a cast of fantastical creatures of goblins and minions.

Having been duped into selling Winnie, the Moo, by the dodgy salesman, Professor Prospero, the plot centres on Jack's daring climb up the magical beanstalk to the Land of Riches, where he encounters danger, deception and the chance for heroism.

The show combines lively dances by the youth chorus, captivating musical numbers by the principal performers, an eye-catching ultra-violet scene and a bouncy community song, making it a delightful experience for audiences of all ages.

Tickets, priced at £7 for adults, £5 for children/concessions and £20 for families of two adults and two children, are available for sale at Ingleborough Community Centre or by ringing 015242 41701 during office hours.
