There
is nothing more rewarding than watching a young child trying to tell you out of
pure desperation that there is “a wolf behind you” or with cheeks turning red out of
exertion after “booing” the villain off the stage. Of course, that doesn't beat the moment when the adults in the audience discover the multiple meanings of
jokes in this pantomime.

Being a member
of this cast has been an absolute honour, leaving me with many fond memories;
sharing stories around the dinner table, completing chocolate calendars leading
up to Christmas, singing “Let it go” at the top of my lungs with the cast as a
‘pre-show warm up’ or meeting the children after the show and seeing their new
found love for the Arts.

After having a lovely Christmas break with my family,
I am ready to get back into the second season of this exciting show! So book
your tickets NOW and be prepared for an entertaining show, filled with romance,
comedy and drama. Even better, it’s suitable for all ages! Why not make a night
of it and have dinner at Circa’s very own bar/restaurant Encore – they make the best chicken pot pies.
Red Riding Hood, the Pantomime runs until 10 January. To book, visit, www.circa.co.nz or call the Circa Box Office on 801-7992.
