Every Christmas, Nottingham Playhouse produces a family show aimed at children aged 3-8 in the Neville Studio. The production then tours to primary schools, libraries and other community settings in the region.
We are very proud that this production provides a vital experience for younger children, many visiting a theatre for the first time. It is a core part of our Christmas programme and has been building a reputation year on year.
“The sweetest and most perfect little Christmas show for the littles and their not-so-little parents” East Midlands Theatre (Goldilocks and the Three Bears, 2022)
“A joyous, simplistic, up-beat show, with lots of interactive moments crafted for excitable small children.” Beyond the Curtain (Hansel & Gretel, 2023)
