Spring and Summer 2024 Season

NEW SEASON HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE:

Three brand new productions offer something for all age ranges at Little Angel Theatre including: a vibrant, interactive show for babies and toddlers, Persephone - a Tale of the Seasons (1st March - 21 April, Little Angel Studios) for ages 6 months - 3 years. A playful show for early years audiences, The Curious Rat (4 May - 21 July, Little Angel Studios), combining puppetry and animated projection for ages 3 - 8 yrs. A punk-rock musical for our “not so little” audiences, Medusa’s First Kiss (10th Feb - 21st Apr, Little Angel Studio), exploring themes including identity and acceptance for ages 10 yrs +

Two classic Little Angel productions return: the hugely popular musical adaptation of Julia Donaldson and Rebecca Cobb’s The Everywhere Bear (3rd February - 14th April, Little Angel Theatre) and a reimagined revival of Jenny Worton’s story of the worrisome Prince Charming (18th May - 27th July 2024, Little Angel Theatre). 

Little Angel Theatre’s work will reach children across the UK with touring productions including new musical Charlie Cook’s Favourite Book which visits over 50 venues from February, as well as tours of Dogs Don't Do Ballet, Handa’s Surprise, The Singing Mermaid and The Smartest Giant in Town. Plus The Instrumentals will be part of this year's Imagine Festival at the Southbank Centre.

Little Angel Theatre continues to develop its participatory offer, with vibrant and inspiring workshops accompanying performances, including a project focused on improving literacy around the Charlie Cook’s Favourite Book tour, and the launch of two exciting new birthday party offerings: The Imagination Train, for our youngest audiences, and Puppets in Peril: Guardians of Fire Isle for slightly older budding puppeteers. 

Little Angel Theatre Artistic Director Samantha Lane and Executive Director Peta Swindall introduce the new season:  “We are absolutely thrilled to be premiering three brand new productions, providing theatre for babies right through to teens, as well as reviving two much-loved classics.  There really is something for everyone in this season, which includes devised work, new-writing and a book adaptation; showcasing the breadth of possibility in TYA work.  We are also delighted to see so much of our work travelling around the country, bringing the magic and wonder of puppetry to the whole nation.”
