A Toronto production company that has relocated to Lennox and Addington is preparing to host the first ever holiday pantomime production in the area. Torrent Productions are presenting Cinderella – A Merry Magical Pantomime at Emmanuel United Church in Odessa this December.

The show is set to run 8 times between December 19th and 24th, with some days including multiple performances. Tickets are now on sale.

Pantomimes of this sort are a staple for family entertainment in the UK. They’re theatrical productions that involve music, topical jokes, and slapstick comedy. Pantomimes commonly based on a fairy tales, nursery rhymes and other family-friendly fare. They are usually performed around Christmas or other holiday festivities.

Torrent Productions is run by husband and wife team, Rob Torr and award-winning choreographer, Stephanie Graham. They hope to make this an annual tradition for the community in Lennox and Addington.

In Cinderella, Buttons will do his best to help Cinderella. Cinderella’s stepsisters will get up to no good and get in the way of her happiness, and a villain will try to make things miserable. But what of the fairy godmother and Prince? They have gone missing, and the story is taking unsuspecting turns. Will Cinderella meet her Prince? We will ask “Who is behind who?” and yell “oh no there isn’t’s”. There will be sing-alongs and some silly surprises.
