The Letterkenny Pantomime Director Patrick Doherty has gained some much-deserved from a member of the pantomime community and friend Shaun Bradley.
After the success of last week’s 70th anniversary production of Cinderella, Shaun wanted to highlight the phenomenal amount of work that Pat does every year.
Patrick’s panto life started back when he was just six years old and played the leader of the Bumblebee Quartet in Dick Whittington in 1956.
Now, as he approaches his 70th birthday in March, he has a ‘slightly’ higher leadership role in the panto community.
After a January play is done and dusted, Patrick is back into panto mode in April/May, writing the script and looking forward to casting in autumn.
Come winter it’s full days and long nights of rehearsals and preparations.
But Patrick’s hard work and dedication doesn’t go unnoticed.
Shaun Bradley, who played parts in the pantomime from 2005-2015 said Patrick was a great guy to work with.
“Patrick is a great director and a lovely man.
“I have known him since 2005 and I have great time for him.
“His 70th birthday is coming up now in March and I hope he has a great birthday,” Shaun said.
