TICKETS are selling fast for Whitestone Players pantomime “Aladdin”, which is being staged at Whitestone Parish Hall (EX4 2JS) from Tuesday, February 6 to Saturday, February 10.

A pantomime provides fun for the whole family at a very reasonable cost and it is always something to look forward to.

Whitestone Players certainly know how to put on a fantastic performance and has been doing so since it staged its first pantomime in 1967.

There are some very amusing scenes in this version of “Aladdin”, which was written by Alan Frayn.

The cast of 11 and the group of dancers have been busy in rehearsal for many months.

Cast members range in age from just six to 75 and this will be fourth time that the Players have staged “Aladdin”, the first three in 1968, 1983 and 2007.

Performances are at 7.30pm each evening and there is a 2.30pm Saturday Matinee but the matinee is almost sold out.

Tickets are priced at £6 for adults, £3 for children under three.
