Since our debut performance in February 2024, we have toured across the UK to venues including Discover Children’s Story Centre, Wonderworks Nursery (Warner Brothers), and TOT Fest Festival - the largest children’s festival in the UK. Our shows have now been performed over 115 times, reaching more than 3,800 audience members.We are extremely proud of the response to our work, which has allowed us to grow at a rapid pace. Here’s what people have said about us:

  • “Better than most children’s theatre in the West End.” – Questors Theatre 
  • “A beautiful and engaging story for little ones. My eldest (4) is still talking about it and relating what she saw and learnt to her own life.” – Sophie Scull, Executive Producer, English Touring Theatre
  • “I am a child therapist and I was sat through the whole performance like, yes, YES, yes! it was just brilliant" - Audience feedback, Victorious Festival
