A village hall will be turned into Arabia with a production of Aladdin this week.

StageHOGers was created last year to stave off the long winter nights, to meet and have a laugh with local people and to fund raise for the Heart of Gissing charity.

The production will be held at Tibenham Village Hall on Friday and Saturday at 1pm and an adults only performance at 7.30pm.

'After the success of Cinderella we are keen to try and up our game this year,' said Sam Watt, director of StageHOGers.

'We have a really strong cast with local lasses Charlotte Cox and Amanda Gingell starring in this year's show, not to mention a larger than life performance from James MacMillan as the Widow Twanky.'

Sam owns the local dance school Hegarty School of Dance.

Tickets are on sale at Claire's Sugarcraft in Diss, the Children's Centre in Gissing, the Burston Crown Pub and the Gissing Crown Pub.
