Christmas at Zinc Arts Ongar 2016

Following the success of Cinderella at Zinc Arts in Ongar we brought to life

JACK AND THE BEANSTALK AND HIS FAIRY TALE FRIENDS

This Fairy Tale Pantomime took everyone on a magical adventure into the land of Once Upon a Time where they met Jack, Jill and all their Fairy Tale Friends.  A wacky version of this enchanted tale.

When penniless Jack is forced to take his cow, to market he returns home with only 3 beans. His very angry mother tosses them into the garden and Jack is in big trouble. 

The following day they wake up to find a giant beanstalk. This sees the beginning of a very prosperous adventure for Jack, his mum and all their farmyard friends.

This Stage One quirky version will saw the return of Madam Mayo as Jack's mum, played by West End Star Mario Frendo. Along with some of your favourite Stage One children's characters and entertainers.

Jack and the Beanstalk took place at Zinc Arts , a wonderful intimate Theatre, where everyone is truly part of the panto!

Everyone met the characters after for photos and selfies!
