 The show’s writer and director David Price said; ‘Where has time gone since we first took to the stage? 

“We then came together to celebrate Builth Wells YFC’s 50th year, and the pantomime Cinderella provided an enjoyable means to mark that milestone. 

“We had just lost our son Bradley to cancer, and it was agreed that funds raised would be presented to the cancer charity Tenovus.”

In subsequent years there were to be another five pantomimes, a ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ evening, and their first musical, ‘Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat’. 

This has resulted in £75,000 being raised for Cancer charities and other local causes.

Performances of Goldilocks will be at the Strand Hall, Builth Wells, on Friday, November 29 at 7pm, Saturday, November at 6pm, and Sunday, December1 at 2pm and 6pm.

Tickets are available from The Fountain, Builth Wells, Monday to Friday, 10am to 2pm, or Builth Wells Library, or call 07974761309.
