Once upon a stage, in a land not far away, the pantomime "The Wizard of Oz" unfolded with whimsical display. Dorothy and Toto, off to Oz they did go, encountering a funny scarecrow, a tinman with no woe.

With wicked witches and ruby slippers aglow, laughter and applause did surely grow. A magical journey that stole the show!
After two sold out shows and a daytime performance for the local primary schools, the cast and crew of the Killarney Community College Production of The Wizard of Oz can finally take a bow.
As the curtain comes down we look back on a journey that started with auditions as far back as September. The actors, dancers, musicians and chorus gave up numerous hours and weekends to perfect the performance they expertly brought to stage. Let's not forget and thank their amazing teachers who also gave up their time, precious energy and experience to the whole process. The cast will forever be grateful.
Two staff in particular we have to give them a like, we have to give a huge thanks to Music Teacher Joanna Hughes and Maths Teacher Mike Lynch, for the yellow brick road would have been closed, and without their help Dorothy wouldn't have found her way home.
“Thank to everyone you didn't see in the background who helped bring the whole thing together. You know who you are and we appreciate what you did. You made this Panto a dream come true,” said the college’s Dympna Healy.
“Thank you to all our generous sponsors, production team and most importantly, thanks you to everyone who came to the show and purchased a ticket. We hope you enjoyed it as much as we enjoyed putting it on.”

Killarney Camera Club has announced the results for the Unrestricted Category of its monthly competition, which cantered on the theme of Texture.

The winning photograph in the Unrestricted Category is ‘The Old Shed Door’ by Ade Desbrow.
Mr Desbrow captured his winning image unexpectedly just before demolishing an old shed at the bottom of his garden.
He was drawn to the shed’s old timber door, where an antique bolt provided the ideal subject, covered in dust, cobwebs, and years of weathering.
Award-winning photographer Vivian Buckley delivered this month’s critique, praising the winning shot for its quality. Mr. Buckley noted that the final photo displayed incredible clarity, detail, and sharpness. He also highlighted the perfect lighting and reflection from an old mirror beneath the door, which captured “every grain of wood and every delicate thread of cobweb”.
