The Little Mermaid panto special night wows VIP guests

Audiences at the Adam Smith Theatre panto have been raising the roof with excitement over recent weeks but none more so than nearly 300 VIP guests at a performance last week.

OnFife’s annual VIP Panto Night welcomed 265 children and adults from The Cottage Family Centre in Kirkcaldy and Fife Young Carers as special guests to enjoy The Little Mermaid.

“It was a fantastic night with a very special vibe,” said Karen Taylor, OnFife’s Community Events & Programme Manager. “There were arts and crafts when they arrived, a buffet to get tucked into, Santa was on hand to give out selection boxes and all the children received a goody bag to take into the show and then an ice cream at half time.

“It’s always great to see our invited kids really enjoying themselves and the engagement and excitement during the show this year was through the roof.”

Kelly Rodgers, from The Cottage Family Centre, which supports children up to the age of 16 and their families, said: “On behalf of everyone at The Cottage Family Centre I would like to thank OnFife for providing 210 tickets for our children and families to attend the VIP night at The Little Mermaid. Our children and families had an absolute ball and what an experience it was.”

The Little Mermaid runs at the Adam Smith Theatre until Saturday 6 January. Tickets are available from £13. Family tickets offer savings of up to 15 per cent and there are also offers for group bookings. Shows include relaxed and BSL performances. Go to www.onfife.com for details.
