Longford County Council to save the River Camlin in Mostrim Players' production
It will take place in St. Mary’s Campus, Granard Road in Edgeworthstown
Prepare for pantomime brilliance from the Mostrim Players as they return to the stage for the “The Pied Piper of the Camlin”. With a cast ranging from the ages of 6-16, with 40 members in total, this locally written production is creating much anticipated excitement throughout the county.
It will take place on Friday, March 6 at 7.30pm in St. Mary’s Campus, Granard Road, Edgeworthstown, with additional performances on March 7-8 at 5.30pm. A sensory matinee performance is also being considered for Sunday at 2pm, depending on public demand.
Tickets are €15, with children under five admitted free. Tickets are available online at ticket.ie from A&N Gift Shop, Main Street, Edgeworthstown, or at the door (subject to availability).
Choreography is by Oonagh O’Ferrall, member of Evolution School, who has been working closely with the cast to bring high-energy dance routines to the stage. The 40 cast members range from dancers, singers, actors, backstage crew and members of the production committee. What is most exciting about this production is that the Mostrim Players and Mostrim Youth Players are collaborating to make a special evening.
The pantomime was co-written by Pauline Flood and Setanta Flood and is directed by Setanta Flood, with producers Kate O’Donohoe and Marian Sheridan overseeing the production, supported by a dedicated backstage team. This is a panto with a local twist. The storyline features members of Longford County Council alongside other well-known characters.
The River Camlin has become infested with rats and the Council must find a way to rid the town of the troublesome rodents.
This is the fourth locally written pantomime for the Mostrim Players, and the group continues to focus on providing opportunities for Youth Players to showcase their talents on a local platform.
