Helston's Home-Grown Panto

Local young people and adult performers from Helston will be working with Miracle Theatre to make their performance of The Revenge of Rumpelstiltskin extra special when it comes to the town's own Epworth Hall on Saturday 6 and Sunday 7 Feb.

Expect comic interventions, a wickedly camp entourage for the Forest Fairy and a brilliant male voice choir, all adding extra sparkle to the usual Miracle magic!

Rumpel at The Rondo

The tour continues, and we've had a great response from our audiences. Comments have ranged from: 'Clever, funny and beautifully executed'; 'Sublime' and 'One of the funniest things I've ever seen!' to 'Well worth the slither down the hill' and 'A wonderful intimate antidote to the dross of mainstream panto!'

You can catch the show at The Rondo, Bath on Thursday night at 7pm.

Miracle in Dorset this week!

The show goes on with an eagerly awaited trip to Dorset this week . We're catching up with old friends (and hopefully making some new ones too!) at Gillingham School, Bridport Arts Cente, The Exchange in Sturminster Newton and Puddletown School. And not a snowflake in sight!

Local people take to the stage in Callington

Miracle actors Jason, Sally, Ben and Tom (pictured) are looking forward to a special run of shows at Callington this week. They'll be working alongside local people when The Revenge of Rumpelstiltskin comes to Callington Town Hall on Friday 15, Saturday 16 and Sunday 17 January.

The audience is in for a few surprises when students from Callington College and adult performers from amateur company Prim-Raf and the Lions Club  take to the stage in specially devised sequences and  comic interventions.

Expect festive giggles and hilarity alongside the usual Miracle magic!

 

 

Whitecross show postponed
