Dweeb-A-Mania
Saturday 4 October – Sunday 9 November
8-13 years
Kemi and Norah are mega-nerds through and through. They think they know a lot about… everything! But when popular boy Bentley refuses to invite them to his wrestling-themed party, they discover, to their horror, that he thinks they are dweebs! It turns out that they have a lot to learn – especially about wrestling. Together, they secretly launch a plan to become champion wrestlers, crash Bentley’s party, and prove to everyone that they are, in fact, extremely cool.
Dweeb-A-Mania is a punchy, powerful new comedy which celebrates being exactly who you want to be. Get ready for flying kicks, body slams and a mind-blowing number of barbecued chickens!
Well Done, Mummy Penguin
Saturday 18 October – Sunday 2 November
Ages 3-7
“Mummy is good at swimming,” says Little Penguin. “She’ll be back home soon, won’t she?”
“She sure will,” says Daddy Penguin.
Amidst the snowy Antarctic landscape, Mummy Penguin is off to find a fishy dinner for her family. Daddy and Little Penguin watch in suspense as Mummy swims through the icy waters, climbs the perilous cliffs and tiptoes past some grumpy, just-awakened seals. Can she do it? Well done, Mummy Penguin!
With a nod to the fascinating nature of penguin parenting, Well Done, Mummy Penguin is a stage adaptation of the latest picture book from award-winning writer and illustrator Chris Haughton, and an irresistible ode to family bonds and incredible parents everywhere.
Brought to life by the team behind the award nominated ‘Oh No, George!’, Well Done, Mummy Penguin features daring acrobatics, integrated sign language, creative captions and heartwarming humour.
