RCT's Panto - Cinderella
7th - 12th December
The Cowane, Stirling
A much loved part of the RCT calendar where the kids perform like superstars and the adults gleefully ignore the script! Warm up your boos and cheers... it’s panto time again!
Cinderella lives a life of drudgery, bullied by her horrible ugly sisters. Her muddled and confused father, Baron Hardup is powerless to intervene (he’s more scared of them than she is!) and her only comfort is her pal Buttons!
Prince Charming is holding a ball to meet his bride to be. Can this be the chance that Cinders has been waiting for? Maybe... if they can all remember their lines!
