Festive bean counting at Howden Park Centre

Daniel puts on his live showcase in Livingston

- Pantomine

Howden Park Centre is presenting its Christmas panto this festive season.

Written and directed by Martin McCormick, the production of ‘Jack and the Beanstalk’ tells the story of poor Jack – she just can’t win. Once upon a time, her daddy chopped down that Beanstalk, killed the giant and saved the day.

But now, he’s gone and the bills are mounting up.

There’s not a day goes by that Marge Aline, Jack’s widow wumman, mammy gets upset.

And if that wasn’t bad enough, Jack and her dunderhead sister have to sell the family cow, Daisy the Moo Mark Two.

It’s just like history is repeating itself or something, isn’t it? Well at least there aren’t any giants around this time.
