Emma O’Driscoll, presenter on Children’s TV for RTÉ is a familiar face with the Limerick Panto Society having starred as Cinderella in last year’s panto production, and is looking forward to another year on stage.

The presenter will be play the title role in this year’s performance, the society is excited to announce.

“I’ve been in quite a few pantos with the Limerick Panto Society and I absolutely love every single year.

“This year I’m getting to play Goldilocks and I’ve never got to play it, and I’ve always loved that story, so yeah I’m really excited,” Emma said.

The Goldilocks story returns after being previously performed by the Limerick Panto Society in 1990, 2002 and 2008, proving highly popular with Limerick audiences.
