The curtain may have fallen on DIVAS’ spectacular pantomime Jack and the Beanstalk, but the applause hasn’t stopped yet. This amateur theatre group, based in and around the Hondón Valley, wowed local audiences in February with two show-stopping performances full of colour, music, and infectious audience participation.
The beloved panto drew big crowds—and even bigger hearts. Thanks to the fantastic turnout, DIVAS donated €200 to Cruz Roja (Red Cross). Pedro from the Cruz Roja office in Alicante recently visited Hondón de los Frailes to meet members of the cast, crew, and backstage team, and personally thanked them for their generosity.
Director Pamela Jubb shared the group’s motivation: “We wanted to convey our appreciation for all the hard work and dedication your organisation gives in times of disaster. DIVAS wanted to help in some small way to give back to the community in which we now live, love and call our home.”
Photos from the event show Pedro alongside the cheerful DIVAS team, as well as the grand finale of the panto—proof that community spirit and creativity go hand in hand.
