Rehearsals have started!
17th November 2008
Day 1 of rehearsals at The Palace Theatre, and following a script read through the cast and crew were soon down to work. Liam has been working the cast hard, and Mikey (production manager) already has the set up and rigged on stage! The kids have been in all evening dancing their hearts out! Already it's looking fab!
Mikey tells us that Priscilla Goose (see article below) survived the journey really well, and is currently 'setting up her nest' back stage, ready for her starring role!
We have been promised a few rehearsal shots so as soon as we get them we'll be uploading them for you to see.

Andy Medhurst
This year, the costume role of 'Priscilla Goose' will be played by Andy Medhurst. Andy is currently starring in the UK touring production of CBeebies at the Theatre, and moves straight from that tour up to Kilmarnock for panto.
Andy is currently working on the CBeebies tour with Andrew Andrew (who will play Mother Goose in panto), Nadia Javed (who will be company manager & deputy stage manager on Mother Goose) and Mikey Shaw (who will be Production Manager and Technical Stage Manager on Mother Goose) so he says it will feel like a tour reunuion when they all meet up again in Kilmarnock at the start of rehearsals!
