Santa's Christmas Party! Epsom Playhouse

Jack the Beanstalk - Epspm Playhouse
Friday 14 December - Sunday 6 January
The pantomimes at the Epsom Playhouse just get better and better. This year it’s a ‘giant’ of a show; packed full of slapstick, corny jokes, stunning dancers, beautiful singing and real panto mayhem! This ‘traditional modern’ Jack and the Beanstalk promises something for everyone, a real family treat!
