A giant adventure awaits in Globus Theatre’s annual holiday pantomime: Jack and the Beanstalk

Hayden DiMarco will be making his professional debut in the role of Jack.
The holidays are the most wonderful time of the year—especially at Globus Theatre, home to the annual holiday pantomime. This year, Jack and the Beanstalk will take stage with a comedic twist on a classic fairytale beginning Dec. 3.
These annual pantomimes serve as a celebration of another successful season at Globus Theatre. The show marks the last performance of the year and highlights local performers, be they young or young at heart, alongside a professional company. Many of these performers are students at Globus’ School of Dramatic Art (SODA) programs which provides accessible dramatic arts programming to the Kawartha Lakes community.
The show stars familiar faces like James Barrett as Dame Trott, Sarah Quick as Poison Ivy, and Kevin Sepaul as Baron Dithers. And making his professional debut, Hayden DiMarco is playing the role of Jack.
Jack and the Beanstalk not only stars this incredible professional cast and enthusiastic locals, but also the audience. In keeping with tradition, the pantomime show encourages audience participation, cheering the goodies and booing the baddies.
P“We are extremely excited to continue our pantomime holiday tradition with Jack and the Beanstalk. The play is so much fun and truly a joy to watch. Sharing the wonders of theatre and spreading holiday cheer with schools and our community is something we look forward to every year,” said Sarah Quick, playwright.
Start your holiday season with Globus by catching Jack and the Beanstalk from Dec. 3-17, with public performances happening on Dec. 5, 6, 7, 12, 13, and 14. Various school performances will be happening in between for Leslie Frost, Fenelon Township, Scott Young Public School and more.
Dinner bookings are available for select dates and are selling out quickly so make sure you ask about booking dinner with your ticket so you can enjoy a delectable three course Christmas dinner before the show, served from Globus’ in-house kitchen.
