Alpacas, chickens, scabs, and foam hair... it can only mean that Waterford Panto is back with a bang.

Jane Kennedy has been behind the scenes for many years, transforming the heads and hair of the cast on stage.

However this year, she steps into the limelight as 'Scabriella' (Scabs to her close friends) in Cinderella.

Alongside Tony Corcoran, she will bring beauty to the Ugly Sisters and a fine measure of attitude.

Dymphna popped out to a rehearsal recently and caught up with Jane.

Jane spoke about family, her children, her pets, and why this is her time to shine.
