It is almost time to boo, laugh, scream, and holler ‘oh yes it is’ as the onstage antics unfold at one of the firm favourites in the entertainment calendar in Mayo.

From January 10 to 13, Castlebar Pantomime is repeating a script of Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs, first seen on the Castlebar Town Hall stage in 1998. The 2013 version will again be directed by Donna Ruane. Jason Guthrie is choreographer and John Flatley is musical director.

Castlebar Pantomime is currently preparing for its 2012 production which will tell the story of Cinderella.

With standing ovations and many of the 3,500 audience returning to see the show, Castlebar Pantomime's version of The Wonderful Story of Mother Goose was easily the most enjoyable in 26 years for both audience and cast. The original script became unrecognisable with the directors doing their best to re-write a shorter version, while Walter Donoghue as Mother Goose did his absolute best to ad lib in as many new lines as possible as the shows progressed. But local references, many recognisable faces from around Mayo, a cast of 150 people including 70 junior chorus members, outstanding solo singers, comic lines, colourful dance routines, the hard working Castlebar Pantomime committee as producers, amazing harmonies by musical director John Flatley, imaginative choreography by Jason Guthrie, along with clever direction by Sharon Lavelle and Donna Ruane all resulted in a widely enjoyable production.
