Performances will be held at An Beal Bocht Café (445 W 238th Street), in Riverdale, Bronx, NY. Tickets are $18/adults, $12 for children 12 and under. Tickets are available at An Beal Bocht Café and at BrownPaperTickets.com

Holiday "pantos" have a long tradition in England and Ireland. If you've never been to one it's not pantomime in the quiet, silent mime sense. It is loud, silly and a lot of fun. That means songs and comedy as well as audience participation. Cheer for the hero and boo the villain, sing along to the songs and have fun and laughs along the way.

Bring the kids but we guarantee adults will enjoy this too.
