It’s panto time again and Rutherglen Rep are well into rehearsals for ‘Wee Willie Winkie’, which promises to deliver the usual thrills and laughter.

Willie Winkie arrives in town to find everyone terrorised by the Bogeyman and his band of scary ghosts. To make things worse, Nabber and Grabber, a pair of cat burglars, turn up to start a crime wave under the nose of incompetent Policeman, Bobby MacRobbie.

When Granny Gumdrop’s granddaughters, Teeny and Weeny, go missing, it’s the last straw. Willie knows he has to do something. Helped by Lucky, Granny’s black cat, he sets out to track the Bogeyman to his lair and smash his power. Can Willie manage it? Oh, yes he can!

The Rep’s annual pantomime is eagerly anticipated by cast and audience alike. There’s always a special buzz in the air when panto rehearsals begin, as you can see from the picture of a previous panto rehearsal.

The Rep is moving further afield each year with their tour of the show, both to private and public venues.

Public performances this year will be as follows:

Monday 5th. December:	Stonelaw Church Hall, Rutherglen
Friday 9th. December:	Cambuslang Institute
Saturday 10th. December:	Blantyre Miners Welfare, matinée and evening performances.

Tickets are priced at £6 (£5 concession) and can be purchased by telephoning 08443570248, or online at the Rep website, www.rutherglenrep.org.uk/tickets It may also be possible to purchase them nearer the time at Blantyre venue.

Come and join us for a fun night out!

Coming this September (Fri 2nd and  Sat 3rd) at 7.30pm, the annual full length play we have been doing for a few years now in Rutherglen Town Hall. We proudly present “HOUSE GUEST” by Francis Durbridge. This exciting thriller centres around a wealthy couple, Robert and Stella Drury, who find out their son has been kidnapped and a ransom is not demanded. All the kidnapper requests is to stay in their home for 48 hours. This play has more twists than a corkscrew and I do hope you come along and see for yourself and use your detective skills and see if you can work out what is going on! I do hope you, your friends and family would consider coming for a lovely night out in Rutherglen Town Hall. Tickets can be bought direct from the Town Hall on 0141 613 5700 or just pop in to the Town Hall box office in person at 139 Main Street Rutherglen. Prices are £7 and £6 for concessions. Hope to see you there. Or you can book online: http://www.sllcboxoffice.co.uk/
