Dingwall Players to return to landmark building for first time in 13 years
The venue is at the centre of a major refurbishment project with hopes high that it will return to its role as a vibrant hub at the centre of the town.
Director Allan Thomson said: “You can be assured that all the elements of panto will be forthcoming, booing, audience participation, nasty villain and heroes not to mention the indomitable Dame Dangle, played by Stewart MacPherson.
"Without giving too much of the plot away planet Earth and Santa are in the grip of the evil Vile Un and incompetent henchmen, Null and Void – can Dame Dangle Crystal, Dick Daring and Roberta the Robot save the day and Christmas!”
Santa in Space will lift off from Dingwall Town Hall from Thursday, December 8 to Saturday, December 10 at 7.30pm, with a matinee on the Saturday at 2.30pm. The matinee show is already a sell-out.
