Slot Machine Theatre Description
We make theatre that is weird and wonderful and funny and extraordinary - but not impossibly obscure. Our shows are great for all ages and we specialise in theatre for family audiences.
This Autumn /Winter 2017 we are on tour across the country with the production Your Toys, an epic adventure for 4 to 9-year-olds, their toys and their families. The audience bring their toys to the theatre and the toys make the show.
This Christmas we will also be performing Miki, based on the book by Stephen Mackey, at Norden Farm Centre for the Arts. Suitable for ages 3 + .
