There will be several new faces in principal roles when they “fresh and fun” show hits the Victoria Hall stage on January 24.

Some have been plucked from the chorus and previous cameo roles, while others are making their debut with the society.

The Amateurs promise a treat for the entire family during eight performances over eight days, including three matinees and one teatime performance.

Cinderella has been written by Keith Marsden and the late Geoffrey Rundle who penned the popular Keighley pantomimes for several decades.

Audiences will be taken to the town of Stonybroke where the Baron and his daughter Cinderella live with the ugly sisters Deirdre and Josephine.

Cinders is always being picked on by her stepsisters, and hovering in the wings are the nasty debt collectors Snatchem and Grabbem.

Playing the title role in Cinderella is Brogan Hollindrake, who has played several leading roles in previous Keighley Amateurs pantomimes and musicals including Footloose and Whistle Down The Wind.

She is joined by Stephanie Laycock and Alice Chapman, both long-time members of the Amateurs, as Prince Charming and Dandini,
