Panto will be back at New Mills Art Theatre next year - oh no it isn't, oh yes it is!

The Friends of the Theatre have announced their next pantomime will be Cinderella and you’re being invited to audition.

After the production had to be postponed last year due to Covid 19, they have chosen the classic Cinderella story, script by Alan P Frayn.

Theatre spokesperson Angela Hulme says: "The script is packed with all the wonderful panto characters, jokes and slapstick business, putting pantomime back where it belongs – in its home, on the Art Theatre stage in January and February 2022.

"The success of Hansel and Gretel panto in 2020 brought a host of ACT (Association of Community Theatre) nominations for the production, and the cast and crew are eagerly awaiting the awards ceremony at the end of July.”

Auditions will be held in September.

Performance dates are 28-30 January and 4-5 February 2022.
