The day started with some fun filled games, which included some very brave children being blindfolded and led around an obstacle course, and led to the children creating their very own piece of promenade theatre using all sorts of strange and colourful props. Many of the 83 children involved had never
been involved with theatre before, and despite not all knowing each other
to begin with, the day ended with some fantastic performances in settings
that included a haunted forest, the dessert, a grand palace, and a beach.

| Nicky Frisby, the Family Outreach
Worker who organised the events, said “It was a privilege to watch many
of the children blossom and grow in confidence before my eyes.”
Barn Door Theatre and Nicky now hope to develop some more projects together for the future, so watch this space! |
