"Little Red Riding Hood"

The Gisborne Unity Theatre's Christmas pantomine this year will be the well-known story of "Little Red Riding Hood".

Produced by Mrs Pat Woodford, the show will run for nine performances, including two matinees, at the Opera House from December 14th to 21st inclusive.

Under the musical direction of Mr Cliff Anderson, the three-act pantomine will feature modern music, and with its colourfully costumed cast of 80, should prove very popular family entertainment.
