Jack Frost (Richard Priestley) and Holly (Claire-Marie Seddon)

The festive production at Arts Centre Washington is set to melt families’ hearts in the run up to the big day.

Presented by Fidget Theatre in association with LittleMighty, the story follows the tale of a little girl called Holly who befriends the lonely winter sprite, Jack Frost.

Audiences will be able to follow Holly’s adventure into the ice-covered fantastical world of the playful, though lonely, Jack, and watch as together they make sure no one is left out this Christmas.

Each show will feature a community cast recruited from the local area, following a call out earlier in the year. including members of Washington Youth Theatre, One Voice Choir, The B#’s and Uke School, who lend their voices and instruments to play live alongside the professional team.

The show also boasts the voice of Ian McMillan as Grandad and includes a specially written song ‘You Can Come in From the Cold’ by Ed Heaton and James Hamilton from band Hope and Social.

The show will focus on friendship and spreading an important message of the true spirit of Christmas.

Jack Frost will be coming to Arts Centre Washington from Tuesday December 3 - Sunday December 8. The show is written and directed by Andrea Heaton and Ruth Cooper.
