As the Torch Theatre prepares for its festive pantomime of Jack and the Beanstalk this December, your help is very much needed. Somewhere in Cloudland, deep in the heart of the Giant’s castle is a very special room - filled with beautiful golden objects. These glittering objects are priceless, covered in the most spectacular patterns, and decorated with jewels. However, these treasures don’t belong to the Giant they belong to everyone here on earth, and Jack wants them returned!
But what on earth are these objects, what shape are they, what are they made of? We need your young people to think about things that are precious to them and design a spectacular special object for Jack to rescue from the Giant!
“We were so delighted by last year’s wonderful ball gown design for Beauty and the Beast that we thought we’d set another challenge for young people across our county! So here it is - silly or sensible, we want to see all the ideas you have for a special object in the giant’s room – could it be a golden toilet brush? A diamond covered X-Box? Or is it an emerald hairdryer? It’s up to you to imagine...,” explained Tim Howe, Torch Theatre’s Senior Manager for Youth and Community.
Tim added: “The design pictures could be in any format. They could be made of a collage of images and textures, cutouts from magazines, strips of material, created on the computer or they could be hand drawn – let the young people’s imaginations run wild. And don’t forget to put a quick description of what your design is on the back, we don’t want any X-boxes being mistaken for toilet brushes!”
There are three age categories: Under 5s, 5 – 10 and 11 – 18. A winner will be chosen from each category, and an overall winner will see their design being made into an actual object in the pantomime. All the designs will be displayed in the Torch Theatre’s Joanna Field Gallery during December for all to see.
The deadline for entries is Friday 4 October 2024.
All images should be on an A4 piece of paper and no bigger and include the following information on the back: the name of the designer, school / college they attend, a brief description of what their object is, and contact details for someone over 18.
Entries should be sent to: The Giant’s Treasure Room, Torch Theatre, St Peter's Rd, Milford Haven, Pembrokeshire, SA73 2BU Alternatively, bring them to the Torch Theatre Box Office.
