Recently two photo shoots took place for the Palace panto. The first saw Liam Dolan meeting up with Peter Amory (Emmerdale) for their own photo shoot in Croydon. Peter is on tour at the moment so couldn't make the main shoot in Kilmarnock.
Then a few days later, Liam, Suzanne, Louise and Adele met up at the Palace Theatre to formally launch the panto!

4th March 2010 - The 2010 pantomime is Dick Whittington!
East Ayrshire Council in association with Imagine brings another unmissable, bright family panto to the Palace Theatre.
Join Dick on his quest for fame and fortune to see if the streets of London are really paved with gold. It’s the beginning of an adventure that will lead from Kilmarnock to London to Morocco, with a trip to the bottom of the sea on the way. Can Dick win the hand of the fair Alice McFitzwarren? Can he and his faithful cat rid London of King Rat and his hordes of little rats? And will his dream of becoming Mayor ever come true?
Join us for this sparkling production with all the usual pantomime ingredients – spectacular scenery and sparkling costumes, corny jokes, hilarious slapstick and bags of audience participation.
The panto has gone from strength to strength over the past few years achieving record sales. Tickets are on sale now so book early to be sure to avoid disappointment.
