Portlaoise Panto on the home stretch for 2020 show

Tickets are still on sale for the Portlaoise Pantomime group's 36th annual production, 'Robin Hood' in the Dunamaise Arts Centre from January 18 to 25 inclusive.

As in previous years with their reputation for hugely entertaining productions of song, dance comedy and laughter for all ages, this year should be no exception.

This year's tale Robin Hood features all the usual surprise happenings along the way, where so many different characters will be encountered, goody goodies, bold as brass, happy, romantic, and as always everyone should live happily ever after.

With Director Sharon McNamara on her first visit to Portlaoise Panto, Musical Director Niall Mulpeter and Choreographer Julieanne McNamara, with a cast of over 50 (including 14 junior chorus and 15 transition year students from local secondary schools) rehearsals are now in full swing.
