CINDERELLA offers great homemade entertainment for all the family according to director and producer Richie Ryan. “This is our 15th year doing the pantomime in Limerick. People can expect the usual high quality productions that they know from the CentreStage team. We have the wonderful line up of talented cast and local writer Mike Finn working with us and given his great reputation for quality scripts, people can be sure of an entertaining plot and hilarious entertaining characters.

“Myles Breen also has a huge rapport with the audience so that always works well and this years pantomime promises to be even better than ever,” continued Richie.

Writer Mike Finn says that it’s important to get that mix of comedy and plot just right.

“It’s the same mayhem, fun and excitement that always makes the panto such a hilarious show for all the family. We try to have enough colour, fun and excitement to keep the kids entertained while also including jokes and political gags for the adults. That way it works for everyone from 3 to 103.”
