A cast of young performers from the Saltburn area is getting ready to bring a junior version of Sleeping Beauty to the stage this Christmas.
Majestic Theatre Arts is preparing its pantomime for Saltburn Theatre from 30 November to 4 December 2026. The company says the show will feature traditional pantomime comedy, singing, dancing and audience participation.
More than a performance
Director Tara Bullock says the production has involved weeks of rehearsals, with children and young people practising acting, music and movement together.
For many members of the cast, joining a live production offers an opportunity to make friends, gain confidence and learn how to work as part of a team. The experience can matter as much as what eventually appears on the stage.
Bullock contacted The Tees to share the company's plans and invite the local community to support the young cast. The production is being presented as a family event, with the familiar characters and colourful atmosphere a traditional Christmas pantomime.
Dates and tickets
The announced run is from Monday 30 November to Friday 4 December at Saltburn Theatre. Individual performance times and current ticket availability can be checked via the production's booking page.
With several local young people making the most of a chance to perform, the show gives families and friends an opportunity to celebrate their work in front of an audience.
