Chicken Licken
30 July 4:00 PM
Buxton Puppet Festival 2010
A baby chick is born and thinks the sky is falling down. On the way to tell the King, she meets Henny Penny, Ducky Lucky & Turkey Lurkey, but there’s a shocking surprise! Chicken Licken grows up to be the Little Red Hen and asks her friends to help her make bread, but no one wants to play! Mixed into this recipe of food, puppets and music is the story of Little Red Hen and the sly Foxy Loxy. Will she outwit him and save her stuffing? This one-man show is a trilogy of classic tales from the Ladybird books. Starting as a baking demonstration, the show rapidly becomes the adventures of a growing chick and her encounters with a hungry fox. Read more about this event … or

HMS Pinafore - Fusion Theatre, Northern Ireland
30 July 7:30 PM
The Gilbert & Sullivan Youth Festival
Fusion Theatre is based in Lisburn, Northern Ireland, and was formed in 2000. Since then, they have taken part (twice) in the Waterford International Festival of Light Opera, and as members of the Association of Irish Musical Societies, have won various awards in the lower tier, resulting in their elevation to the upper tier of all-Ireland membership (along with Belfast Operatic Co, New Lyric Operatic Co and St Agnes Choral Society) as the only youth group in that tier! Quite a challenge!
Past productions include Pirates of Penzance (Broadway version) for which they were nominated for Best Director, Best Choreography, Best Supporting Actress, Best Female Voice and Best Overall show by AIMS – and won Best Director. The same production won the NODA Regional Award.
An earlier production of Jesus Christ Superstar won Best Director, Best Male Voice, and spirit of AIMS awards from AIMS, and also Best Director and Best Male Voice from the Waterford International Festival Of Light Opera.
Fusion Theatre have a twin ethos of high artistic standards, and “includion”. Their membership reflects the community both in terms of cultural identity, socio-economic background, perceived religious affiliation, and ability/disability. Read more about this event … or
