COSTUMES/TICKETS

  SHOW – VENUE THEATRE, RATOATH, SATURDAY 25TH APRIL, 2026.

JUN/SEN INFANTS should dress as Munchkins and they should arrive for the show, dressed in their costume.  You can google ideas and buy the costume online or of course you can create your own wonderful masterpiece.  Mad hair, mad colours, braids, ribbons, plaits, buns etc.  The boys can have gel maybe,  just to make them feel like a character. You could also maybe draw a curly moustache.

THIS SECTION IS JUST FOR THE OLDER CHILDREN 1ST – 6TH CLASS.  If your child has a part, they should dress for their relevant part.  (We will give  out the parts when we have covered all aspects of the show  and when we have given ourselves and the children time to explore each discipline – music, dance and script)

TICKET PRICES  are €15 for adults.  Children, students and OAP’S €10. Please note that all the seats have excellent and equal viewing so you do not need to come too early to get a good seat.  Also there will be a show on beforehand so you cannot gain entry.  You should arrive 15 minutes before your show time.  We will collect the children in the foyer and take them to the dressing rooms. You can pay at class OR on the day with cash as we don’t have card facilities OR online IE08AIBK93251521395266. Text me that you have paid and I will email a receipt.
