Waipawa M&D's production of Cinderella is now only a few weeks away and the rehearsal rooms are alive with the sounds of an eager, hardworking group of people pulling out all the stops to put on another outstanding show.
Sir Roger Hall wrote this panto especially for Waipawa M&D after seeing their production of his Jack and the Beanstalk last year, as he was so impressed with their efforts.
The members of the cast are learning lines, songs and dances, while the orchestra rehearses, to build it all into one amazing show.
Behind the scenes, many hours of work are going into set building and painting, designing and sewing costumes, publicity and programme design, not forgetting the tech team working on lights and sound, and the backstage crew organising props and set changes.
Everyone involved is a volunteer, giving up many thousands of hours of time to be part of a show to make all the family laugh and have a grand old night.
