We are open!
We finally opened on Saturday and have had three full houses so far with fantastic reactions from the audiences, lots of cheers for our heros and huge boos for our nastiest bad guy yet!
One of our ensemble Stephen Mahon blogged for us about the opening shows.
Hey! Stephen here, this will be my tenth panto and my third
time in Little Red Riding Hood .
So opening day has finally arrived. After all the hard work in
rehearsals it was great to get started. You could feel the buzz in the theater
this morning as the final preparations were underway, everyone was so excited
to begin.
It’s tough trying to attend both school and panto rehearsals
but when I heard the crowd’s reaction to the show today I knew it was all worth
it. Anyway it’s time for me to try
and catch up on some well-needed sleep, I hope ye all enjoy the show and have a
merry Christmas!
Lots of shows are already sold out so be sure and book fast so you don't miss out

A family affair!
As well as being a family friendly show our Panto is also a family affair in other ways, we have lots of siblings, cousins and other family groups involved. Today's family the Hall's has all four children involved. The eldest Jennifer as well as appearing on stage has also been assisting with our Junior chorus at rehearsals and is working hard on props behind the scenes all the way through as well.
Hi my name is Jennifer,
I have been doing panto since I was six and I am delighted to be taking part in little red riding hood. Most of my family are involved in panto in some way, my mum volunteers front of house, my two sisters Emily and Katelyn and my brother Cillian are in the panto. This year I assisted Kelly Ann when she was choreographing the junior chorus and my youngest sister Katelyn was part of this. It was my first time doing something like this and I really enjoyed it and it was a really good experience. I love doing panto because its so much fun you learn a lot from everyone around you, from the backstage crew to the experienced actors it is a great opportunity to work with them because I can learn so much from them. Each panto bring its own challenges and new experiences and I am looking forward to what this panto brings.
Next in line is Emily, who you can spot quite a few times on stage throughout the show, she really transforms her character a few times. She is also a huge help back stage with our smallest members of the cast.
Hello this is Emily, I am delighted to be in Panto this year. This will be my 7th Panto with my sister Jennifer and my 5th Panto with my younger sister and brother, Katlyn and Cillian. Every year around Christmas there is always a lot of excitement and practicing of dances. I am dancing since I was very young and I still have the same love for dancing now that I am 15 years old. I am so happy to be a part of the Panto and everyone is so nice and friendly. I hope you all enjoy the show and MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
Next in line is Cillian who will be the first of the Hall family to appear in this years show.
Hi my name is Cillian, I have being doing Panto for about 8years. I think it is a really good experience. I have made lots of good friends over the years. Some I am still good friends with and others I don't see much any more. I have learned lots from Panto and especially the main cast, great tips on how to be a great actor and dancer. It is great that my mum helps in the Everyman Palace theatre because she can give us lifts in and out. I really love this years show it is great to see the cast and crew all hard at work to make a great show.
And last but most certainly not least is the youngest of the family Katelyn who is one of the happiest people in the show, Katelyn always has a huge smile on her face a brightens all our days!
Hi my name is Katelyn Hall. I have being doing Panto for 5 years. I love singing and dancing in front of all the people. I am the youngest of the Hall family and I am performing with my two olðr sisters and older brother who all also go to CADA with me!

Kevin is keeping it real this year!!!
Kevin is one of our ensemble and I promise will have you all laughing all the way through the show!
Hi my name is Kevin and. I'm part of the senior chorus in this years Panto. Though I've performed in many shows before this is my first pantomime with CADA. At first I thought it might be awkward being the new guy but everyone has made me so welcome. I'm studying commerce with French in U.C.C. and it has been tiring to have lectures all Day and then to go straight to rehearsals for the evening but I really look forward to coming in each day. Not too fond of having to microwave mammy's meals when I come home at night though I must say if you're reading this mum thanks for dropping me to rehearsals each day - any chance of a curry tomorrow night?
Hope you enjoyed reading my blog and can't wait to see you all at the show, only 2 days left!!!

Another very talented Teen Vicki Purcell
Yet another of our very talented teenagers, Vicki Purcell wrote today's blog post.
Hey I'm Vicki and im in second year in regina mundi. This is my eighth year doing panto and i love every minute of it. Pantomines always make my christmas but this christmas is going to be even better because the show is great this year. The principles and the ensemble are in every day and night working hard and its really paying off. Ive had a lot of long rehearsals lately perfecting every dance and they're all worth it because the dances are going to look amazing on the stage. I'll be appearing a couple of times during the show so look out for me. I'll be bringing a bit of sport to the panto.

Some of our teens are extra busy this week
A very special post today from one of our teenagers, Niamh Duggan has a very busy week this week because as well as all her Panto rehearsing she will be singing with her school choir on the Late Late Toy show on friday night along with another of our teenagers Rachel O' Donoghue.
Red Riding Hood is without doubt one of Niamh's favourite pantos!
Hi everyone Niamh here. I am 15 years old and a Junior Cert student in St Aloysius College, Carrigtwohill. This year will be my seventh panto! I couldn't be any more excited than I am now. This year the panto is Red Riding Hood which is quite sentimental for me as the last time Red Riding Hood was staged at the Everyman, four years ago (even though it feels like yesterday) I was one of the lucky young girls who played the magical part of Red Riding Hood. It was a once in a lifetime opportunity and I have learned so much from that amazing time. In fact I have learned something new in every panto, be it dancing, singing or acting. It is also brilliant to be working with a fantastic cast and crew and this year we have choreographer Darragh O'Leary on board who is choreographing the most amazing dances! Rehearsals are very busy at the moment, as the 8th of December (opening day) is looming upon us, also with panto comes Christmas, so everyone is really excited Sometimes its hard juggling school with panto but I (or my Mom) always find a way around it even if it means bringing one or two books to rehearsals! However, this coming Friday I'll be taking a break from study and rehearsals as I will be participating in the Late Late Toy Show with my choir from school. But bright and early Saturday morning its straight back to rehearsals! Anyway better get back to study while I have some free time which is pretty unusual for me as I am always on the go along with my younger sister Orlaith who is also participating in the Panto this year.
I hope you enjoy the show ! Oh and I know its a bit early but Merry Christmas!!!
