TYLDESLEY Little Theatre's Christmas pantomime is set to prove that the future of live theatre is in safe hands, with a young cast of more than 12 girls in the chorus.

The youngsters will appear in Jack and the Beanstalk which will run from Saturday through to December 7 (not including Monday).

Linda Hall and Danielle Cope will choreograph the show -- the third in which they have been involved. The excellent teenage dancers started off as two members of the chorus, but have so impressed the society that they have been offered the challenge of organising all the dancing.

The full chorus cast list is Linda Hall, Danielle Cope, Jade Hurdus, Shelley Tickle, Jenna and Jessica Hogan, Louise Gill, Laura Maloney, Lisa Gregory, Hayley Warburton, Holly Fitzmartin, Sally Hinchcliffe and Derryn Porter-Jones.

Tickets for the pantomime are from 01204 655619 or 01942 886908.
