  • MOTHER GOOSE – 2024

    Stamford Arts Centre teamed up local theatre company Starbright Entertainments, along with local cast and creatives, to bring you this magical pantomime – MOTHER GOOSE!

    Starring Victoria Fallow-Norton as Fairy Virtue, Hannah Peacock as Silly Millie, Erin Billington as Demon Vanity, Simon Aylin as King Bumble and our very own Venue Manager Phil Norton as Mother Goose. Also featuring young performers from Welland School of Dancing and wonderful scenery designed by local Stamford artist Karen Neale.

    Mother Goose’s heart may be full but her purse certainly isn’t – she’s behind on her rent, in danger of eviction and dare we mention those rising energy bills? However, her fate is about to change when a magical goose that lays golden eggs mysteriously appears in town. The goose may be the answer to her financial woes but Mother Goose is not completely happy as her family and friends still make fun of her. Can she be tempted to give up her wealth in search of youth and beauty?

    Mother Goose may be one of the oldest pantomime stories, but this adventure is bang up to date with hilarious antics, toe tapping tunes, and a whole host of local nods and references for a really unique production set in our beautiful town.
