Family Festival
A jam-packed day of family festival fun all under one roof
Stage Frights and Other Stories
The Lowry, Salford Quays, Greater Manchester
Sat 5 July 2008
Time: 10am - 7pm
The Lowry is set to delight North West families when its brand new festival, Stage Frights and Other Stories, fills the building with top-notch fun for kids.
Stage Fright and Other Stories presents a feast of words, laughter, jokes, theatre, games and workshops especially made for families. Top children’s performers will be brimming with storytelling, performance, dancing, art, stand-up comedy and music. Horrible Histories will transport audiences back in time in the Lyric Theatre and there will be frightful fun with The Terrible Infants in the Quays Theatre. For those ready to boogie, Music Baby! with DJ Scruff, is the new dance party sensation for toddlers and parents. The Talking Pants show will have people laughing their trousers down and visitors will have to keep their eyes peeled for surprises.
With all this, plus free performances and workshops across the whole building The Lowry promises to be a hive of activity. In the foyer, visitors can enjoy music by the Ordsall A capella Singers and Indian dancers. Five-to eight year-olds will enjoy Tell Woman, a fairytale taking place in the landscape of a gigantic skirt. Three year olds and older will love the captivating puppet show Mystery of the Sock Snatcher plus all the colouring and other messy capers in the classrooms.
The action continues with singing and dancing workshops, the Circus Minimus and the chance to become an art detective. And for those wanting a break from the action there is always the family corner where under-fives can draw, read and play in peace.
