BOSSES at the Beacon have told of their delight at securing a star cast for this winter's panto.

The Tele revealed this week how venue favourites Jane McCarry and Mark Cox will return to the stage this Christmas as they star in Beauty and the Beast.

The Still Game stars will be joined by River City’s Jimmy Chisholm in this year’s production.

The 2023 run gets underway on December 8, with tickets on sale now.

Lisa McRuvie, marketing manager at the theatre, said: “Our annual panto is the highlight of the year at the Beacon, and we’re thrilled to be welcoming back a host of familiar faces to our stage.

 

 

“It is even more special for us as Beauty and the Beast will be produced by our talented in-house team.

“It promises to be a fun and magical show for children and adults of all ages, with audiences invited to join the adventure as this traditional story is given a unique local twist.

“We look forward to welcoming our amazing Inverclyde audience back to the Beacon, and those who to book early will be able to buy their tickets for last year’s prices."
