Eden Court chief executive Rebecca Holt said: “Panto is a really special moment in the year for Eden Court, as we get the privilege of playing a part in people’s festive traditions.
“More than any other type of performance - panto relies on an audience to make it what it is. It simply doesn’t work without the audience shouting out, singing along and bringing the laughter. So we’re really pleased that once again the people of the Highlands have shown their affection and loyalty to the Eden Court panto by booking their tickets.
“Over 35,000 people are expected to see Jack and the Beanstalk in the coming five weeks, including around 4000 school children, many of whom will be experiencing live theatre for the first time.
“As a business, the footfall at this time of year and the income that it generates it vital to our sustainability as an organisation here to serve the Highlands all year round.”
