Jack and the Beanstalk Panto gets underway!


With panto season nearly upon us, staff at Hall for Cornwall took the opportunity to properly welcome the cast of Jack and the Beanstalk to the theatre ahead of the first script read-through this morning.  Most of the theatre departments were represented at a short informal reception held in the Stars Restaurant allowing us all to meet the cast and the production crew ahead of a busy schedule of rehearsals and a packed 3 weeks of performances.  The cast seemed to be looking forward to the challenge and getting their teeth into a script packed with gags and larger-then-life characters.


We're welcoming back a few familiar faces and some local actors this year and Stage Door blog will be meeting and talking to most of them in the run-up to opening night.  In fact, Stage Door will be following the panto cast closely as they prepare for an exciting season, with regular updates on rehearsals and all the other preparations that go into staging your annual panto.
