This year, Theatre at The Mill presents not one but two hilarious and heart-warming performances for you to enjoy this festive season – a first in the Theatre’s history! For the first time ever, audiences can experience two festive productions running side-by-side, offering something truly special and unique for the holidays.
Adding to the magic of this year’s productions, is the fact both shows are brought to life by an incredible all-female team of writers, producers, and directors, making this festive season not just entertaining, but an inspiring celebration of creativity and talent.
Cinderella
Yellow Jumper presents a fresh spin on the timeless Cinderella story, where magic meets modern charm. Bursting with laugh out loud moments and fantastic music you know and love, the lively cast will whisk you away on a spellbinding adventure full of local banter. The endearing Cinderella and the silly Stepsisters will chase their prince – but will he be everything he’s rumoured to be?
Running from 29 November to 30 December 2024 – it’s a fairy tale spectacle you won’t want to miss!
Update! Adding an extra sprinkle of magic to this production is a special video performance by Olivia Nash, beloved for her iconic role in Give My Head Peace and Mad About Mambo which promises to bring even more laughter and charm to the stage.
Commenting during rehearsals, Olivia said: "If the audience enjoy the Cinderella as much as we the cast and crew have enjoyed making it, they're in for a treat. It's such a happy show full of energy, music and dancing.
"I really thought my panto days were over so I am delighted that director Sarah found a fabulous way for me to be involved. But hush for now, you'll have to come see the show to find out more!"
Belfast Actually
If you want to experience something completely new, Leesa Harker, the creator of ‘Maggie Muff’ has written a hilarious comedy ‘Belfast Actually’ about three couples that are all looking for love in Belfast.
Can two MLAs from completely different backgrounds really have the hots for each other? Can a widower find a second chance at love from within his widow support group? Or can a wannabe country singer win back his childhood sweetheart with his hit song ‘Potato Farl Heart’.
You are guaranteed to have a right geg with this locally produced comedy, running from 28 November to 30 December (age guidance 16+).
