The Trail to Oregon!

Join Puzzles Productions for their musical debut!

A family of 5 from Independence Missouri set off on the hilarious yet dangerous journey to Oregon.

After the father buys a wagon with a “floor window” and “octagon wheels” they set off rolling down the trail in all the wrong ways. That’s why you never trust a fast-talking general store guy!

Between the grandpa who won a war with lobsters, the daughter who gets on her mothers nerves constantly, a son who will eat anything, the overly enthusiastic father and the mother who has to deal with all of this.

They will face all sorts of challenges such as snakes, dysentery and worst of all…. The infamous Bandit King!

This funny, thought provoking and interactive musical was originally written by Starkid and will be performed by Puzzles Productions and friends!

Lee Hurst: ‘No Particular Order’

Comedian Lee Hurst has had a varied life, a former cleaner, a van driver and labourer.
He became a comedian, did TV Warm Up work and then ended up on TV himself as one of the stars of the hit BBC comedy sports quiz They Think It’s All Over as well as numerous other TV shows. He then walked away from it all to open his own Backyard Comedy Club in Bethnal Green in London’s East End.
He also went to Iraq and Afghanistan to entertain the troops (ours).
In 2011 he knocked it down and built a 7-storey hotel reopening his comedy club on the ground floor. (Told you he’s had a varied life.)
Lee is now touring again with his new stand-up show ‘No Particular Order’.
A night where the audience is invited to choose the running order of the show by picking cards displayed on the stage.
Please bear in mind, some of the cards are not what they appear to be…
