Back by popular demand, Terry Gleed will take on the role of Smee in this year's production of Peter Pan.
And having really found his home from home in Lowestoft, Terry – who has previously starred as Pickles in Sleeping Beauty, French Freddy in Beauty and the Beast and Wishee Wishee in Aladdin – is looking forward to his new role when Peter Pan runs for 32 performances between December 13 and January 1.
Speaking about his return, Mr Gleed said: 'I am absolutely overwhelmed to be coming back for a fourth time. The audiences are always electric, exciting and with a warm family community spirit which encourages us on stage to have a fun connection.
'Doing schools visits and community Christmas events is a joy for me and the meet and greets in the foyer after each show is the icing on the cake.
