A new panto Baltic, written by Jerry Taylor, comes to our main stage from Saturday 22 November to Sunday 24 December. Take a sneak peak into rehearsals.
Cumbernauld audiences are in for a festive treat this December, with the coolest panto of the year set to delight families in the run-up to Christmas.
Lanternhouse is transforming into Glenfrost as Baltic, heartwarming festive adventure written by Jerry Taylor, is gearing up for opening night.
Brave young Elsbeth, with magical powers still to be unleashed, lives in the snowy village of Glenfrost. When her brother Kai is kidnapped by the wicked Snow Queen Chillblane and her slippery sidekick Jack Frost, she sets off on a daring rescue mission.
She’s joined by her hilariously cheeky pal Sammy the Slush, her snow-stopping mammy Dame Agnes Avalunch, and a whole host of frosty new friends, including a talking snowman called Nolaff who’s lost his carrot and his sense of smell.
Along the way, they face chaotic trolls, a ravenous seven-foot Yeti, and a snowstorm or two as Elsbeth discovers what she’s really capable of.
Presented by Ginger and Jester Productions.
It’s been a joy working with everyone here at the theatre. Audiences can expect a few magical surprises along the way that you really do have to see to believe. With a brilliant cast and creative team behind us, this brand-new pantomime will have you singing, laughing and dancing all the way home. I can’t wait for you to see the spectacular world our stage team has created.
