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.
