JACK AND THE ELEVATOR??

The ADAPT Panto was again a rip-roaring success. This year we performed at the Casa de Cultura, San Pedro, Jack and the Beanstalk, a traditional panto, in two languages.

Pantomime is not something that our Spanish friends are accustomed to but through ADAPT the locals of San Pedro are becoming familiar with and they look forward to it each year.

We had quite a bit of ad-libbing from the stage and also from the audience which created a fun atmosphere and we had the usual clever and funny on- screen videos, one of which was the elevator up to the Giant´s castle, which meant that our Jack didn´t actually have to climb the beanstalk! When our cow, Lightning, failed to produce any milk Jack got a carton from the ´Milk Dispenser´ !!

Now you would expect to see a giant in this panto, well not in our panto. We went one better and had two ´Giant Babies´ who toddled about the stage and danced The Sugar Plum Fairy while leaving a huge golden dummy and spoon for Jack to steal.

Half way through we had the ´Audience Participation´ bit. The scene was the village green. A barn dance was demonstrated and then we had the children from the audience to join in which was very cute and funny. Funnier still was when the adult volunteers joined in! It´s not as easy as it looks.

Packed full of laughter, music and dancing, with wonderful adaptation from Jane Cronin and production and direction from Eric Berg, we enjoyed it as much as the audience.

Proceeds amounting to € 1.929.12 will be going to the El Samaritano Food Bank Association, a very worthwhile cause.
