Rubbing the Lamp for Laughs: Players in Troon Spark Magic with Aladdin

This March, the enchantment of pantomime returns to Troon and Beacon, reviving a cherished tradition that has been absent for too long. The Players in Troon are set to dazzle audiences with their production of “Aladdin,” promising a spectacular blend of laughter, adventure, and community spirit.

In an ambitious endeavour to foster community unity and provide a creative outlet for children, the newly formed Players in Troon have dedicated themselves to their inaugural production. The group, a vibrant mix of newcomers and seasoned performers, has been rehearsing tirelessly, and their efforts are about to come to fruition.

Due to ongoing refurbishments at Troon’s village hall, the pantomime will grace the stage at Beacon Village Hall, which is located opposite the cricket ground. Audiences can expect a journey to the far east filled with humour, heart, and the age-old battle between good and evil.

The performance dates are set for the 8th, 9th, and 10th of March, with showtimes catering to both evening and afternoon audiences. The cast, including the hilarious Wishee Washee and the ever-entertaining Dame Twankey, is ready to deliver a show that will leave spectators with a lasting sense of joy and wonder.
