ITSA Theatre Company presents
The Improvised Panto
It's a different panto every night!

Oh yes it is! Oh no it's not!
Yerra, shut up aw' that and come along!

Half Moon Theatre, Cork Opera House
Fri 09 -- 23 December, 8.30pm (excl Sundays & Thurs 15)

'Twas the Panto before Christmas and all through the gaff,
Were feens, shams and beores, all out for a laff.
Not a script was in sight, neither plot nor direction were clear,
The actors were chancing it, an' playin' it by ear,
Based on audience suggestions, some bad, some worse,
But at least the cast didn't have to rehearse.

Tired of Sleeping Beauty? Sick of Snow White? 'Tis the season for panto alright, but if you're up to your ears in elves and looking for something different, have we got a show for you! ITSA Theatre Company is back in The Half Moon Theatre this December with The Improvised Panto, an alternative to a certain fairy tale on the main stage.

ITSA Theatre Company has gathered some of Cork's funniest actors and improvisers to present a different pantomime each night, based on audience's requests, unlike the other crowd, who are devoting a whole season to a silly wagon who lost her shoe. It's all improvised, so nothing is prepared or scripted. Expect the unexpected, the hilarious and the outrageous as our actors weave their way through classic fairy tales without so much as a trail of breadcrumbs to guide them wherever the audience wants them to go.

It's a whole new world of panto, and anything is possible. Including spontaneous bouts of singing, dancing, laughing, crying and the telling of outrageous lies. And that's just from the audience. Don't worry, the actors will be doing it too. Probably. No rules, no writing, just rollicking bouts of laughter and rib-tickling ridiculousness. Is he in front of you? Is he behind you? Your guess is as good as ours!

Ideal for Christmas and Office Parties. T his is Panto as you've never seen it before...
WARNING: NOT SUITABLE FOR CHILDREN. QUITE RUDE (POSSIBLY).
