First up is The Wishing Tree which will transport audiences to a magical world where dreams can spin out of control.

It tells of an ancient oak with magical branches which stands alone deep in the wilderness.

But what happens when the wishes it grants become too much to handle?

This family-friendly show is suitable for all ages.

Next month, the youngsters will stage The Butterfly Effect.

This thrilling show asks whether the mere flapping of a butterfly’s wings can really cause a tidal wave.

It follows a chain of events which has serious consequences for everyone involved, when one small action, a moment in time, changes the course of the world forever.

Discounts are available for group bookings at either production.
