I have been very fortunate to have performed at Eden court during panto season for the past six years. And I wanted to do something for the theatre as a wee thank you because everyone that works there and watches the panto have been very kind to me over the years.

 Last Christmas a few of the cast members chatted about entering a half marathon and raising money for a charity. My wonderful wife Kat came up with the idea of raising money to provide free tickets for young people who otherwise wouldn't get to see the pantomime. 

I mentioned this idea to a few cast members and after a few email conversations Eden Court theatre have started up the 'Spread a little Magic - Panto Appeal'.

For young people the first (and sometimes only) experience of the theatre is the local pantomime, so all I am asking is that you donate the price of a ticket (or part of a ticket) to this years panto so you can give a young person the opportunity to experience some Christmas magic!
