Also getting into the Christmas spirit at the launch was Jacqueline McGonigle from ‘whatsonni.com’ who are generously sponsoring this year’s production.
The 2015 Christmas pantomime promises to be a magical, fun-filled adventure and is presented by a fabulous cast of characters, and bursting with catchy songs, loads of audience participation and plenty of bite! All the better to entertain you with! What’s happened to Grandma? Why has she got that big toothy grin, why has she stopped cutting her nails and why has her bed shrunk… or is it really Grandma at all?
Families and children will get right up close to all the action with loads of chances to cheer on Little Red Riding Hood, her friends The Three Little Pigs, and Boo the big and very bad wolf.
