Panto star Nichole

While most people were enjoying a restful Christmas break, Nichole Cook was busy performing!

Nichole (14) was playing the role of 'Michelle De Fox' in the professional MacRobert Arts Centre pantomime, "Snow White and the Seven De'Wharff's". As well as a lead role, she was one of the dancers.

Stage experience

This is Nichole's 2nd year in the Christmas cast. She has also performed in 'Billy Elliot' at the MacRoberts Arts Centre and many local theatre productions as well as dancing in professional ballets with Ballet West and the world renowned Suzanne Farrell Ballet Company. Nichole has also been part of dance troupes onboard international cruise ships and in EuroDisney.

Nichole was happy to give up school work to rehearse, saying "I don't mind giving up my Christmas holidays because I've made lots of friends in the cast. I have to catch up on my schoolwork but it's worth it because performing is what I would definitely like to do in the future. The whole experience is great."

Debut performance

Making her first professional performance in the same production was Samantha Davidson (11). Sam is in our Majors programme and played 'Evangeline Edelweiss' in the panto.

Well done girls!
