Producer Joe Purdy said "I'm absolutely delighted that we are bringing Summer Pantomime to Bolton after a great visit in March with 'Rapunzel', 'Jack and The Beanstalk' is my favourite pantomime story, I've always wanted to work with a 'Nolan' and Anne is just the most professional and dedicated person I have ever met! We've got such a strong talented cast, that are going to be joined on stage by over 40 local children throughout our visit. We have also chosen the local charity 'Fresh as a Daisy' to fundraise for during our production,

they are a non-profit group that provides monthly packs containing sanitary and personal hygiene products for vulnerable woman and girls in Bolton"

Anne says "I believe this year will be my 31st panto throughout my career. I am really pleased to be taking part and working with a new & young Production Company, Joseph Purdy Productions, it's so refreshing to see new talent coming through and keeping this great British institution of ours alive & growing.

She added: "Many years ago, I worked at the Albert Halls, Bolton with my sisters and it's so good to return to the theatre entertaining a new generation, I am really looking forward to the panto this summer, it's a wonderful opportunity to participate and develop pantomimes throughout the year and not only for the Christmas period.

I look forward to seeing as many people young & old at the performances so please come along and say hello".
