Children's Parties

Two of our younger actors are well equipped to take on a group of noisy kids. Organised entertainers with great costumes, guitars and heaps of bounce, they will give children of all ages hours of fun involving theatre and party games.

Themes include "Prince and Princess" "Peter Pan and Tinkerbell" and "Pirates”.

N.B. Suggested ages are from 3 to 7, and 8 to 12, in groups of 12 to 30 children.

 The evening begins with the discovery of "a body" as the guests congregate around the bar over a quiet drink. They are then led into the dining room as Inspector Horace Hound and his able assistant PC Plod invite them to assist in solving the dastardly crime which they have just witnessed. Various clues have been hidden around the building which they have fun discovering.
Over the course of the evening further clues are uncovered as they are encouraged and cajoled by our two incomparable members of the local constabulary to reveal the true murderer. Inevitably a number of "red herrings" are placed in the path of the guests, as they attempt to enjoy a three course meal, while imbibing lashings of wine and maintaining sufficient brain cells to solve the ultimate crime!

Dress up with a bit of glamour as your favourite film star, celebrity, rock star, etc and pretend that you're at a night at the Oscars. Let Huge Parts and Meryl Streak entertain you as your presenters for the evening.
'Volunteers' will be encouraged to take part in 'Best movie', 'best actor', 'best supporting actress' etc and vote on who the winner is for the evening.
The evening is a lot of fun and audience participation is actively encouraged by your key presenters Huge and Meryl, plus their erstwhile alter egos Pierre Le Puke, famous French actor, and Rex Powers, fading wannabe Oscar winner.
