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!!!
