Aladdin - Christmas Pantomime

The Grove Theatre Group are delighted to announce they are bringing their family favourite pantomime back to St Columb’s Hall.  The hall often referred to as ‘the people’s hall’ has been an intrinsic piece of the cultural, architectural and historical fabric of Derry City since 1886 and has a rich pedigree in incubating and showcasing the creative of the city “city of song”.

The Grove has been producing pantomimes, musicals and plays since the early 1980’s, starting out in the Little Theatre within the hall, and branching out to some of the biggest stages across the Northwest. The group have been performing pantomime from its inception, only missing one year in its history due to the lockdown of 2020. In recent years, the panto has been staged in the Waterside Theatre, with many years in the Rialto and some stints in the Playhouse, St Mary’s Hall in Creggan and of course on the main stage in St Columb’s Hall in the early/mid 2000’s.
