Chorley Panto cast get ready to raise the curtain

It's Panto time again at Chorley Little Theatre this month as the actors from CADOS take to the stage for the traditional family tale of Aladdin and his hilarious and colourful adventures.

The theatre's volunteers have pulled out all the stops to make this a magical night for the whole family in the newly-refurbished building.

All at the theatre are determined that the production will mark the end of a difficult year with style.

The team behind last year's sell-out panto, Cinderella, are in charge again - led by Barry Callander who both directs the show and stars as Widow Twanky.

Barry has become a firm favourite as the Dame and re-unites with Brian Clarke as the evil Sorcerer.

The parts of Aladdin and the mischievous Genie are played by Graham Hope and Chen Ko, and the beautiful princesses are played by Cathy Higgin and Hannah O'Driscoll.

All four actors appeared in the successful production of Rent in October and are thrilled to be back on the Chorley stage so soon.

With great comedy, fabulous songs, and lively dances this is sure to make everyone's Christmas extra special.

Aladdin runs from Friday December 11 - Saturday, December 19 with no show on the Monday.

Tickets are selling fast, and are available from Malcolm's Musicland, Chapel Street, Chorley, on 01257 264362 or via www.chorleytheatre.com.
