The Spooky Magic Show

Rufus the Dog has taken Uncle Cadabra’s powerful magic wand thinking it was a bone and hidden in the attic.

Accidentally Rufus has caused the whole audience to be magically transported into the enchanted attic. It is up to apprentice sorcerer Sam, and helpers in the audience, to find all the ingredients needed to make a magic spell that will transport everyone home!

A magical story for young families, which is spooky but not scary. The show features a large number of magic tricks and illusions as well as puppets. Members of the audience take part and help Sam with many of the tricks on stage.

Ideal for children 4+ and their families

The Three Musketeers

Prepare for a hilarious and uproarious family farce brought to you by Our Star Theatre Company. This theatrical re-telling of The Three Musketeers is packed with laughter, lively audience participation and plenty of energetically silly performances.

The story centres around a small troupe of performers gearing up for their highly anticipated debut performance of The Three Musketeers. However, as the curtains rise, all is not as it seems. What starts as a simple theatrical endeavour quickly unravels into a whirlwind of confusion, mayhem, and comical mishaps. From forgotten lines to chaotic set changes, the actors find themselves entangled in a series of laugh-out-loud blunders, much to the delight of the audience.

This delightfully entertaining production is brimming with wit, slapstick humour, and a dose of good-natured silliness that will keep you on the edge of your seat, laughing from start to finish.
