EASTER THEATRE WEEK WITH PADDLEBOAT

TUE 19 APR 2022 – SAT 23 APR 2022

10am – 4pm

Imaginative young people aged 12 – 15 are invited to create a stage play with the award winning PaddleBoat Theatre Company during the Easter Holidays.

The inventive Exeter-based company, which is known for its distinctive and playful approach to theatre, will guide a group through a week of storytelling, puppetry, music, design, acting and directing.

This theatre week offers young people a chance to have fun creating with a team of professional artists to put together a piece of original drama and perform on Exeter Phoenix’s stage. The theme of the week will be “FRAMED!”

We’ll be creating a thrilling Whodunnit style detective mystery, taking inspiration from Sherlock Holmes, Agatha Christie and old American film noir. We’ll be creating a story about murders, mysteries and missing persons!  Come and help us catch the clues, spot the suspects and create a brand new piece of theatre with your finger prints all over it!

At the end of the week, friends and family will be welcomed into Exeter Phoenix’s auditorium to watch the young people perform their show on stage.

This project is supported by the International Agatha Christie Festival
