The Boroughbridge Hightimers are returning to the stage next month to put on its long-awaited pantomime, Cinderella.
The amateur dramatic society has been waiting to put on the show since before the pandemic and is now ready for the curtain to rise.
The group, set up 30 years ago, are busy rehearsing for their return at the end of November.
The group currently has 40 members aged 8-80 years old but chairman, Marlo Lomas, said more members were always welcome to help out behind stage, front of house or even take to the stage.
The show will be performed at Coronation Hall, Boroughbridge November 25-27 and again December 2-4.
Mr Lomas said:
“It has been very hard for us all in the society. We were always watching the news waiting to hear the good news that we could go back on the stage. We had lots of performances planned for last year but as time went on they were delayed several times.
“Cinderella, is the first performance back after lockdown it’s an extra special one. The whole cast and backstage crew have worked so hard to ensure that the production is great for all the audience.”

Just before lockdown the group had its junior production of Bugsy Malone. Mr Lomas said it was a great success and the junior cast will return with Grease next June.
In March, the Hightimers will be performing a comedy thriller called Play Prepare to Meet Thy Tomb.
