After months of hard work and dedication by a whole team of people, both on stage and off, the Mabe Youth and Community Project will be raising the curtain on this year's panto next Thursday evening, March 9.

The choice for this year's fun-filled production is The Pied Piper of Primelin which asks the question "will Mabe rid itself of rat problem with the help of the mysterious French visitor?"

To find out, you'll have to go along to see the show which will be staged at Mabe Community Hall next Thursday, Friday, Saturday, March 9-11. Doors open at 6.30pm and the performances will start at 7pm each night. Tickets cost £5 for adults and £3 for under 18s and are available from the village Post Office.
