Lanark Panto Juniors perform Pinocchio

That was back in 2007 when the Lanark Panto Club Juniors was formed, especially for all the youngsters in the town who had been bitten by the same showbiz bug which led to the `original’ Panto Club being formed half a century ago.

And your nose wouldn’t start growing if you said that, with the fifth Panto Juniors production, `Pinocchio’, about to hit the stage, the decision to form the new troupe back in `07 was a very good one indeed.

The show itself is being staged in Greyfriars Church, on Friday, October 7 and Saturday, October 8, doors open at 6.30pm for curtains up at 7pm each night.
