The Grantshouse Village Hall Panto' 2011

The children in Grantshouse decided to have some fun in the village at Christmas time and produced their own Panto'.

With a little help from their friends and only four rehearsals, a fantastic musical show entertained a very appreciative audience that filled the Village Hall on
Wednesday 21st December to see

'Grantshouse Long Ago'
by Angie Robertson

All the usually expected audience participation that accompanies every pantomime performance was very evident! 

The wicked sisters were met with loud hissing and boos of disapproval while the good fairy and the poor overworked orphans, who sang so well, were constantly encouraged with ear-piercing whistles and enthusiastic applause throughout the show of this brand-new production! 

Although based on a tried and tested format, the story was unique to Grantshouse but still led us to conclude that we cannot achieve happiness through bullying others or using them to enrich ourselves. True happiness is only found through sharing with others and caring for them with love.

Many thanks to everyone who who took part in this very successful production and to everyone in the audience who came to enjoy it and helped us to raise over £150.00 for the Village Hall Funds!
