Overview

A Kitchen Zoo Production in association with Northern Stage

Directed by Bob Nicholson

 

The Three Bears

Deep in the forest Mammy, Daddy and Baby Bear are preparing for winter and, of course, Christmas. Each day the Three Bears head into the woods to collect interesting things to re-use for their home. As winter arrives their cosy house is turned upside down by a colourful whirlwind that threatens to sit in their chairs, eat their porridge and sleep in their beds. It’s Goldilocks!

So bring your bears and join us for a winter adventure in the woods with original music, puppets and a tale you thought you knew.

Age Guidance: Under 5s

Relaxed performances 

Every performance of The Three Bears is a relaxed performance, making this a great first introduction to theatre for your little ones. The lights stay on and audience members are free to wiggle and move around, making performances a welcoming space for older children with additional needs too.

Familiarisation tours are available. For those and any other access requests, please contact our box office – email info@northernstage.co.uk, call 0191 230 5151 or pop in and see us.

If a performance is sold out, email info@northernstage.co.uk or call 0191 230 5151 to be added to our waiting list.
