THE Young Ones theatre group's forthcoming annual pantomime will be full of Eastern promise.

A host of young performers from across the borough will be helping to bring to life popular Arabian Nights tale Ali Baba and the 40 Thieves which will run at Netherton Arts Centre, Northfield Road, Netherton, from January 24 to January 31.

Seasoned panto dame Mike Bradley will once again take a starring role in the show which will also feature a number of society regulars including Beth Copeland, Tara Rose and Janet Kirkham.

The Young Ones, based at Dudley Wood Methodist Church, offers young singers, dancers and actors aged eight to 18 chance to take to the stage in an annual show with accomplished amateur adult actors from across the borough.

Tickets for Ali Baba are available from Chris Sykes on 01384 895266.
