We are almost at the end of our cast list....next up is Jim - Jack's dim-witted but lovable
brother. Jim is full of silly
misunderstandings and jokes, often
providing comic relief throughout the
show. Despite his foolishness, he is
loyal to his family and joins Jack on
the dangerous journey up the
beanstalk.
Jill - The beautiful daughter of Lord
Lucan and Jack's true love. Jill is
kind-hearted and cares deeply for
Jack despite their difference in
social status. When she is captured
by the giants, she remains brave and
hopeful that Jack will rescue her.

ONLY A FEW MORE CHARACTERS TO INTRODUCE!! UP NEXT WE HAVE.......

Fairy(s) / Narrator(s) - The magical guide(s) of the pantomime.

This role can be performed by one person or shared between multiple performers, and they may appear as fairies or other magical characters.

They help guide the audience through the story with jokes, audience interaction, and lively commentary, while also steering the action and leading the story in a particular direction.

Another 2 characters on the list....let us introduce you to.....

Lord Lucan! - Jil's father and ruler of the town. Although wealthy and sometimes clueless, Lord Lucan genuinely loves his daughter and wants her safe. He is easily influenced by the Sheriff at frst but eventually recognises Jack's bravery and rewards him.

The classic panto comedian...lets hear it for Dozy Daz! A wandering salesman who is not particularly bright but somehow manages to sell almost anything!

ITS TIME TO INTRODUCE ANOTHER CHARACTER! LETS HEAR IT FOR...Dame Dolly- Jack and Jim's loud, hilarious, and quick-witted mother! WELL HELLOOO DOLLY, ITS SO NICE TO HAVE YOU BACK WHERE YOU BELONG..ON STAGE THAT IS!! 🎶 🎵

Dolly struggles to keep her family afloat after losing her husband and constantly battles against the cruel Sheriff. She provides much of the comedy in the pantomime but also shows real bravery and determination when helping rescue Jill from the giants.

NEXT UP IN THE PANTO VILLIAN SECTION, ITS THE SHERIFFS EVIL SIDE KICKS!

Smash- One of the Sheriff's bumbling henchmen. Smash tries to appear intimidating but usually ends up making mistakes.

Alongside Grab, he adds slapstick comedy and chaos throughout the show.

Grab - The second of the Sheriff's comic henchmen. Grab is just as foolish as Smash, and together they constantly fail at carrying out the Sheriff's plans. Their double-act style creates many of the show's funniest moments.

Could you be our Smash or Grab? Come along to auditions and give it a try!!

ITS TIME TO START INTRODUCING THE PANTOMIME VILLAINS!!!!!

The Sheriff- The main villain of the story. Greedy, selfish, and power-hungry, the Sheriff wants to take over the town and marry Jill for
wealth and status. (poor Jack!)

He constantly threatens Dame Dolly and tries to stop Jack from succeeding.

Despite acting tough, he is often cowardly when faced with danger!

NEXT UP ITS THE ONE AND ONLY......Daisy the Cow!!!!! - The family cow absolutely one of the audience favourites 🐄 🐮

Daisy is clever, playful, and full of personality. She can dance, perform tricks, and clearly understands what is happening around her.

Daisy remains loyal to the family and Jack throughout the adventure. This is normally played by two people.

Think you've got what it takes to be the back end (or front!) of our Daisy?

See you at auditions! 🐄
