Director Cath Willacy is busy writing terrible jokes and puns for this hilarious show. She will be on the look out for lots of men, women, boys and girls at this year auditions...
And for the first time in Rondo Panto history the Baddie will be A MAN!
Do you think you can't sing or dance, but just fancy having fun on stage, or never done it before? This is just the show for you!
It's Pantomime time, it's fun, fun, fun!
Did you go down to Tank 3 today? The yearly Expo for volunteer organisations in Cairns was a great success.
A big thank you to Lynn Cropp for organising the day, and all our wonderful volunteers who gave their time today to promote our lovely theatre...
Want to get involved yourself? So many skills are needed to bring a show together...come and join in working bees for bump outs and meet the family, Front of House always need friendly faces, producing a play will be a fun learning curve, or perhaps you can sew or paint or like op shopping for props...maybe you can tag and test or would like to learn to use our fabulous new lighting and sound equipment...or are you a hairdresser or make up artist? or maybe you want to be on stage?...there's something for everyone 'Round The Rondo!
