  Workshop

  Recurring event

  All our youth theatre groups meet to develop performance and social skills and work with professional practitioners from the arts industry. Our Young People's Theatre aims to provide drama based workshops to young people who would not normally be able to access such services for social, economic, or other reasons.

   

• Drive-Thru Nativity

  Performance

  1 Dec 2009 to 13 Dec 2009

  A combination of out of work actors and zealous Christians gather in the parking lot of a Mega Church to tell the greatest story ever told, in the way that Americans like best: fast and convenient. Are they revolutionary, or seriously misguided?

   

• Jack and the Beanstalk

  Family theatre/Pantomime

  21 Dec 2009 to 22 Dec 2009

  Jack and the Beanstalk is one of the best known and popular folktales in England. Drew Colby is a puppet man who makes his puppets out of everyday things. Put the two together and simple theatrical magic happens. Imagine a world where abandoned rubbish is terrorized by a giant, all-consuming dustbin and his side-kick the broom: where all of the music is created using the things to hand. This is an imaginative journey into a well known story that gives it a fresh perspective for the times we live in. This is a panto for the 21st century.

  Performance

  5 Dec 2009 to 7 Dec 2009

  The Blue Elephant Young Company presents the premiere of a brand new play written especially for the company by award winning writer Bola Agbaje.
