The Sutton Bridge Players are staging a production of Jack and the Beanstalk.

The performance will be held at Westmere Primary School from February 20 to February 22.

The local amateur theatre group is presenting the pantomime, written by Heckington-based scriptwriter Kei Bailey, for the third time.

The group has previously staged Cinderella and The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, and recently performed Rambles on the Radio.

Ren Shilcock, chair of Sutton Bridge Players, expressed joy at presenting another show to Sutton Bridge after a successful summer at Hunstanton, where the group won three awards at the One Act Drama Festival.

The pantomime will see Rachelle Carnell return as director, with Charlotte, who played Dorothy last year in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, stepping in as assistant director, choreographer, and playing Jill on stage.

Mr Shilcock also praised the backstage crew and talented cast, expressing pride in being a multi-award-winning amateur theatre group bringing performances to the local area.
