Macra Panto

It will shortly be panto time again in Mountmellick with Macra staging Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs for five nights in their newly extended hall in Patrick Street. The light entertainment group will take to the stage on Wednesday, February 18 for the opening night and will continue to provide hilarity until Sunday, February 22.

Macra’s previous pantos have been great nights of entertainment with music, song and dance and comedy to have the audience going home with their sides aching from laughter and this promises to be as good if not better. So get your tickets early in O’Gorman’s to ensure you don’t miss a great night out.
