We are looking for a Designer who is passionate about family theatre to design our Under 7’s Christmas Show.
Our Studio Christmas shows are the perfect introduction to theatre for little ones ages 3 – 6 and this year we are proud to present Elen Benfelen / Goldilocks written by one of Wales’ most exciting writers, Elgan Rhys.
Featuring a cast of 3 Actor Musicians, this new adaptation will be a fresh and contemporary look at the traditional tale, full of magic and mayhem.
Elen Benfelen / Goldilocks will open in the Sherman’s Studio before heading out on a 3 week tour to venues across South Wales, before returning home to the Sherman for the rest of the festive season.
