St John’s Musical Youth recently gave two evening performances of their show, Potted Pantos, covering Dick Whittington, Jack and the Beanstalk, Aladdin and Cinderella and A Day at the Seaside. The performances were held at St John’s Church, Midsomer Norton.

The children were very enthusiastic and portrayed their characters splendidly, both speaking and in song.

They were supported by the Friends of Musical Youth, Abi and Graham Price, as Buttercup the Cow and Jim Balliston Thicke, Chris Austin, Tony Daniels, Graham Price and Tony Hill who performed several comic items.

The production was backed up with fantastic costumes, scenery, props and sound system, thanks to a great team of Friends of the group.

A total of £777 was raised which will be shared between St John’s Church and Macmillan nurses, with thanks to everyone who supported.

The group meets on Wednesdays, from 5.30 p.m. – 7 p.m. in the Church Hall.
