A double dose of festive fun
is on the Christmas cards for families all over the region as the
Northumberland Theatre Company gives the chance for youngsters of all ages to
see two of their professional productions including Amble’s resident panto.
NTC is a professional
small-scale touring theatre company based at the Dovecote Centre, Amble. Each
of their show’s tours around the country, predominantly using village halls and
community centres as venues in small rural towns and villages. One of the aims
of NTC is to bring theatre to audiences who wouldn’t normally travel into the
big cities or towns to see the arts.

| The Snow Queen |
The Snow Queen, is now
showing in small community venues from Worcestershire to the Scottish Borders
via Northumberland, Durham and North Yorkshire. In total, including extra schools’
performances there will be 42 shows.
With many years’
experience of writing drama, music and songs for theatre, TV and radio, Gillian
and Rick Juckes have created a new musical adaption of Hans Christian
Andersen’s much loved fairy-tale The Snow Queen is about true friendship and
the lengths you would go to save your best friend. In this case, Kai needs to
be rescued from the Snow Queen but not before a wealth of adventure for Gerda
and her helpers – the Crow and the Reindeer.
