Lighthouse is delighted to welcome back Trethowans as an official sponsor of this year’s dream of a pantomime, Sleeping Beauty.
The south coast law firm, which has offices in Poole and Bournemouth as well as Southampton, Salisbury and Winchester, was keen to cast a spell and have their name associated with one of the biggest shows of the year at Lighthouse.
Written and directed by CBeebies star Chris Jarvis, who will also appear as Dame Nanny Nutkins, Sleeping Beauty is produced by the same in-house team that has delivered award-winning hit pantomimes in recent years including last year’s Aladdin, as well as Cinderella and Jack and the Beanstalk, with production designer James Smith, choreographer Daniel Donaldson Todd and music director Adam Tuffrey.
EastEnders and Grange Hill star Todd Carty will play King Tucker, West End talents Isabella Kibble is Sleeping Beauty and Melaina Pecorini is Fairy Sunbeam, with Sarah-Lousie Young as Carabosse.
“Following the success of last year’s panto, we are thrilled to support Lighthouse once again, this year in their magical production of Sleeping Beauty,” says Mike Watson, Managing Partner at Trethowans.
“Being just a stone’s throw away from such a vibrant venue, it’s wonderful to see how they continue to offer creative and captivating experiences for theatre-goers. We look forward to being part of this year’s production.”
Lucy Funnell, Corporate Development Executive at Lighthouse, adds: “As an independent charity, building relationships with corporate partners is vital to the long-term sustainability of our wide-ranging work.
“With the help of the business community, we can continue to grow our partner schools programme, take outreach projects into our communities, further our range of access projects, support artists and continue providing the public with world class productions, performances, shows and exhibitions.”
Sleeping Beauty opens on Thursday 12 December and runs until Sunday 5 January. Tickets are on sale now at www.lighthousepoole.co.uk, or call 01202 280000.
