A large part of this year’s cast, crew, and creative team are Mary Immaculate College graduates, and we are delighted to present musical theatre to Limerick with this calibre of talent.

Kick off your holiday season with a magical, all-singing, all-dancing, laugh-out-loud adventure at the Lime Tree Theatre’s annual pantomime. There’s something for everyone in this panto, from Limerick hurling references for grandad, to meme jokes for teens, to pop hits that will make everyone want to get up and dance.

Poor Granny isn’t well at all, and only Red can help her find the medicine she needs. Join our heroine as she sets off into the deep and dark and lonely woods, where wolves and ghouls lurk behind every corner…
