A pantomime could be in jeopardy due to a lack of volunteers.

The Tregynon Players have said this year’s show may not go ahead unless more people come forward to help.

Mary Smith, producer, said: "It's not just acting.

"We need help with directing, scenery, music, make up, costumes etc.

"It takes a lot of people to put on a large production and we are struggling to raise enthusiasm."

The group will hold a meeting at the Community Centre on Sunday, September 27, at 2pm.

Community pantomimes rely on a wide range of volunteers both on stage and behind the scenes, with many different skills needed to bring a production to life.

Organisers hope more people will come forward so preparations can begin for this year's show and the tradition of local amateur theatre can continue in the village.

Anyone interested in helping, whether as a performer or in a backstage role, is encouraged to attend the meeting to find out more.
