We perform educational, fun shows for children all out of a trunk. This makes the set up very simple with little fuss getting in and out of schools. The show itself is an exciting and dynamic world trapped inside a trunk that we release.
'There's a story in this trunk!
It's got to get out!
The shows are packed full of digestible information. They are created to be constantly engaging, immerisve and interactive. The children will be involved throughout answering questions, helping create atmosphere or coming up onto the stage to play small parts and play games.
As the show fits into a trunk it can be performed almost anywhere. All we need is a 5m x 5m acting space and somewhere for the children to sit.
Availability depending, we will come to your school whenever suits you.
All of our actors are enhanced DBS checked.
