The cast for the Torch Theatre panto has been revealed.

The Torch Theatre announced the cast for its festive pantomime, Jack and the Beanstalk, which will grace the stage in two months' time.

The production promises a blend of local talent and familiar faces from last year's record-breaking pantomime, Beauty and the Beast.

Pembrokeshire actors Samuel Freeman, Lloyd Grayshon, and Freya Dare will take centre stage.

They are well acquainted with the Torch Theatre and will play the roles of Terrence Fleshcreep, Dame Titania Trott, and Agatha Fleshcreep, respectively.

Freeman, a Milford Haven native, is excited about his fifth appearance at the Torch.

He will also return to the theatre next May with The Mumford & Sons Story: Awake My Soul.

Grayshon, who returns to the stage this Christmas, is delighted to be part of one of his favourite pantomimes.

Dare, a community dance/drama artist and owner of a children's theatre company, will play the role of the devious Agatha.

Cardiff-born actor, writer, director, and stand-up comedian Carri Munn will play Pat the Cow.

She has performed at the Torch several times, most recently with Tachwedd (Theatre 503).

Elena Thomas, who has worked in television, film, theatre, and radio, will join her as Fairy Gabby Greenfingers.

Thomas has recently completed a national tour of The Cherry Orchard, playing the role of Varya for Here to There productions.

The star of the show, Jack Trott, will be played by Gareth Elis, marking his debut appearance at the Torch Theatre.

Elis has performed in numerous productions for companies, including the Wales Millennium Centre and Theatr Genedlaethol Cymru.

He is a familiar face on S4C’s Stwnsh.

Torch Theatre’s artistic director, Chelsey Gillard, said: "I am over the moon to be working with such a talented cast.

"We will, of course, need the help of the audience to beat the giant, so we need you to come along ready to boo, hiss, and cheer.

"There are lots of opportunities to join in – it’s behind you!

"And it wouldn’t be a panto without plenty of silly laughs for the young ones and plenty more that will go over their heads to amuse the grown-ups."

Jack and the Beanstalk is set to run at the Torch Theatre from December 13 to December 29.

Both matinee and evening performances will be available.

Ticket prices start at £19.50, with a special family ticket available for £75.

There will be a relaxed environment performance on December 14 at 2pm and a British Sign Language performance on December 17 at 6pm.
