Rehearsals began on September 12 and the group will stage two performances this weekend at the Rathmore Community Centre. The show will open at 7 pm Saturday and will be followed by a matinee on Sunday at 3 pm.
“The story of Rapunzel is a well-known fun-filled fairytale that kids love,"  said producer Joanna Hughes, “These children have grown so much in confidence and made new friendships on the way. It’s a joy to be part of it all.”
Director Sheilann O’Keeffe added: “This is our sixth children’s panto and all proceeds are going to The Ronald McDonald House on behalf of Brian Lawlor. Our motto has always been Children helping Children.”
Ciara Hughes (16) who choreographed the show, commented how much fun it is, especially when her friends who were in previous shows are now backstage helping.
Tickets: Children €8 and Adults €12
