All breadcrumbs lead to glór theatre in Ennis next week when the Dinan School of Ballet stage their annual production.
The international award-winning school of dance will bring their entertaining and family-friendly interpretation of the classic fairytale, Hansel and Gretal, to life in glór on Wednesday, May 21 and Thursday, May 22. Now in its 38th year, The Dinan School of Ballet is led by Clarecastle's Niamh Dinan.
Students from all over Clare and surrounding areas will bring the story of Hansel and Gretal to the stage, in which two children are lost in a forest before running into a foul witch who intends to eat them. But not to worry, rescue is at hand! 
Speaking in advance of next week's production, Niamh said, "All the students are so excited for the show. It’s definitely the highlight of our school year. 
"The students have been rehearsing for months and always put their heart and soul into the annual show. 
 
"This year we have decided to go with the classic tale of Hansel and Gretal, who will be performed by Caoimhe Mockler and Lily May Kilker (Wednesday) and Lucy Culligan and Mila Rose Flannery (Thursday), who must face the witch, brilliantly played by Tara Casey. 
"Everyone has been working really hard and it's great to be back in glór again next week to bring the story to the stage and showcase the fantastic dancing of our students. 
"Our production promises a wonderful night’s entertainment for all the family," she concluded. 
Tickets are still available at the glór box office or online at https://glor.ie/events/dinan-school-of-ballet-presents-hansel-and-gretel/
