Latest Laois Event: Portlaoise Panto group back with a bang

Run of ‘Rapunzel & The Winning Lotto Ticket’ in April

Portlaoise Pantomime Group will be finally back on stage from April 13th – 20th after having to defer from their usual slot in January, as a result of covid restrictions. This run of ‘Rapunzel & The Winning Lotto Ticket’ will feature the standard nightly shows but an additional matinee on Easter Monday, meaning the cast & crew will be performing a whopping 6 shows from Saturday to Monday. 

This year will be the 36th Annual Portlaoise Panto with the show being scripted by local man Seaumus Carroll. As always it’s full of song, dance, comedy and even the odd TikTok reference! This wonderful show is based on the well known and much loved tale of Rapunzel – but with a twist! A showcase of local talent that’s not to be missed, fun for all the family filled with lots of entertainment, laughs and sing-a-long moments!

Tickets on sale from March 1st, be quick because when they’re gone, they’re gone.
