DALTON Amateur Dramatic Society are gearing up to stage their family friendly panto.

The Society, which has been running for around 20-years, will be performing Jack and the Beanstalk at Dalton Village Hall from March 2 to 4.

The show, directed for the first time by Alan Hutchinson, promises to be an entertaining evening says its producer Pam Braithwaite.

She said: “It’s a lot of fun and there’s a lot of local jokes and references as well as poking fun at wider issues.

“We try and find out who is in the audience each night and make references to well-known local people.”

The enthusiastic cast encompasses all ages from 11-years-old up to those in their late 60s and early 70s.

Tickets cost £6 for adults and £4 for children under 14.

They are are available to buy from Pam Braithwaite who can be contacted on 01748-825057.
