With the countdown to Christmas now firmly underway, it’s worth taking time out to consider what to do over the festive holidays. Well, what better event to look forward to than Athlone’s Christmas pantomime, Olde King Cole. The show, which is currently in rehearsal, will take place in the Dean Crowe Theatre starting on New Year’s Eve with a matinee performance starting at 2.30pm.. There will also be a performance on New Year’s Day at 7.30pm and two performances on Saturday January 2 at 2.30pm and at 7.30pm.
With a cast of almost 50 adults and kids, there will be plenty of shenanigans going on which will allow audiences to cheer and jeer in equal measure. The panto offers the perfect chance for a corporate family day out or it can be an ideal solution to organising a children’s outing such as a birthday. With admission at €10 for children and €12.50 for adults, there are family and group rates available. Booking is now open at the Dean Crowe Theatre box office. Booking can be done over the phone at (090 ) 6492129 or online at www.deancrowetheatre.com
