<h3>Excitement is building in Rathmore as a fun filled panto for all the family is taking to the stage this weekend &#8211; with funds going to a children&#8217;s charity.</h3>
Up to 41 children between the ages of five and 11 will tread the boards in Rathmore Community Centre.
 Shows take place tomorrow (Saturday) at 7pm and Sunday at 3pm.
 It has been months in the making with plenty of rehersals for all involved.
 The storyline will take the audience to Birchwood Orphanage where tradition has it that if a child is left abandoned on the orphanage steps and has no name, the child is named after whatever it is wrapped in. Red Riding Hood is one of those orphans&hellip;. will she be chosen by the kindly comical Granny Knott?
 &#8220;This is a fun filled panto for all the family,&#8221; Producer Joanna Hughes said. &ldquo;After six months of rehearsals it is an absolute joy to see this story come to life.&#8221;
 Director Sheilann O&#8217;Keeffe added that all the proceeds are going to The Ronald McDonald House on behalf of The Brian Lawlor Fund.
 &#8220;It is lovely to witness children helping children, and having so much fun doing it,&#8221; she said.
