The end of November was the start of the Christmas season for San Pedro residents with the ADAPT panto success of the sensational production of “Jack and the Beanstalk” at the new Geli Albaladejo theatre. All anxiety about adapting to a large new venue were allayed as actors and stage crew alike gave it their all and delighted three packed out audiences for two evening and one matinee show. Everyone had a great time, including both Spanish and English speaking audience members, adults and children.
As one Spanish audience member, Juanjo, told us: “The production, the stage design and the integration with the video elements were sensational – fresh and fun.” He went on to say: “The production showed exquisite care in making sure that the play could be understood in both languages (English and Spanish), a goal that was fully and brilliantly achieved – without making it slow or repetitive, and, from the perspective of a Spaniard, with the added charm of a strong English accent in the Spanish lines.”
With the increased audience size we have been able to make two charitable donations, namely 3,000€ to AFEMAR, a local charity which works in the area of mental health and 500€ to HSC an association which supports families coping with a rare congenital disease. Our thanks also go to all those groups and individuals who worked with us to make this year’s panto such a success.
