Panto Time at Scoil Naomh Charthaigh / Castleisland Boys’ National School is always a great generator of excitement. You could almost see it glow.

Pupils and teachers get really stuck in and they’re guaranteed a sell-out, two-night run at the Ivy Leaf Art Centre.

The teachers and the lads have been working assiduously for the past few weeks and everything is ready, almost.
This year’s production is Jack and the Beanstalk. It’s bright, it’s colourful, it’s funny and it promises, like all its predecessors, to be a smash hit.

The shows are upping the standards of spectacularity with each passing year. This year the staff has surpassed its already exacting standards.

The show promises a great night’s entertainment and the boys have really thrown themselves into their parts.
The Pantomime takes place tonight, Tuesday 20^th. and tomorrow, Wednesday 21^st of December at 7.30pm sharp on both nights at the Ivy Leaf Art Centre.

There is a very limited number of tickets left for the shows but these are likely to be snapped up quickly. Good luck to all involved tonight and tomorrow night.
Happy Christmas from all the staff and pupils of B.N.S.
