Meet Clodagh Downey

Todays post comes from our principal girl Clodagh Downey, Clodagh is a second year nursing student in UCC. While this is Clodagh's first time being cast in a lead role some of you may have seen Clodagh last year when she had to understudy our fairy at very short notice.

Hey!! I'm Clodagh, and I am a 2nd year Nursing Student in UCC. This is going to be the 13th pantomime that I'll have performed in and I'm really excited! I am taking the role of principal girl which is a first for me and I'm delighted, because its something I've dreamed to be since I stepped out on the stage at 5. Yesterday the cast had a day off... However I was working in the hospitals doing my placements til 8:30. Juggling all the rehearsals and placement (and sleep!!) is a task but I wouldn't change it for the world. Meeting the cast and crew, some old and some new faces,  and working with such a wonderful team is an honour.
Looking forward to another day of being worked to the bone by the production team, Darragh and Eamon, but I must learn my lines/songs first!
