Meet two more of our ensemble Sinead and Sophie

Sinead Donnelly and Sophie O Sullivan are both members of our ensemble this year. Both are transition year students in Scoil Mhuire and great friends too so much so that they have become known by some of us as "Sinophie", we thought it would be fun if they shared a blog post.

Hi everybody! I'm Sophie, I've taken part in 3 pantos in the Everyman Palace, however this is my first year as part of the senior ensemble! I'm loving every minute of it and our busy schedule is keeping us going non stop. Taking part in Red Riding Hood has come at the perfect time as I'm as transition year student in Scoil Mhuire and they encourage us to grab any opportunities we get! It's an absolute priviledge and pleasure to work with our fantastic choreographer Darragh O'Leary , the routines are energetic and anyone who goes to see panto will enjoy them, no doubt! I'm delighted that the cast are as friendly as they are, I'll be spending a lot of time over Christmas with them! With only two weeks left to opening night rehearsals are in full swing and the excitement is building, I can't wait to take the show to the stage and I'm certain everyone will enjoy seeing it as much as we're all enjoying working on it! Speaking of rehearsals, off I go again, Bye! Sophie 

Hi all, I'm Sinead Donnelly. I'm 16, I'm a 4th year student in Scoil Mhuire. I'm a member of the ensemble in this production of Red Riding Hood.

Its my third pantomime, and my first time in the ensemble. I was so nervous starting off because I knew it would be such hard work and even harder knowing that we were to be choreographed by Daragh O'Leary. 
I was also very nervous because when I was younger I'd luck up to the ensemble and now being in it puts the pressure on. 
It's about two weeks to opening night and its getting intense. Its been such a thrilling experience watching the production come together. The days are long, thankfully I'm in 4th year so I don't have much to be worried about as regards to school. 
I can't wait to start getting our costumes. The dance numbers and songs are so good and great fun. I hope the audience enjoys them as much as we enjoy performing them.
I'm very excited for the shows to start, hope ye all enjoy it. Merry Christmas! 

Dont forget to book your tickets here the show opens in less that two weeks!!!!
