Pitlochry Festival Theatre has announced a range of developments that will take place over the coming years.

Their first move is to hold a Christmas Show, and will do so with the traditional pantomime: Cinderella and plans are to launch an autumn reportoire by 2012. The theatre's economic contributions for the area are already high, standing between 11 and 13 million pounds annually.
