THE ATTIC

Tuesday 6th Mar, 2:00 pm

A beautiful piece of theatre for the very young from Starcatchers. Come up the stairs, blow away the cobwebs and peep into the boxes. Who knows what might happen when the sleepy attic comes to life. Grandma and Lucy are up in the attic where all the memories are stored. Hidden in dusty containers at the top of the house, they have been waiting a long time to come out and play. Featuring live music and actors this show is for children aged 3 – 5, their parents and carers. Running time 45 mins

"spell-binding fun for little ones." The Herald

Jamp

Saturday 5th May, 2:00 pm

JAMP tells stories of extraordinary meetings on an ordinary street. A simple bench and a bus stop become a meeting point, a playpark, a hiding place or a battleground. JAMP is new circus-theatre for Scotland — mischievous, playful, tough and fearless. Scottish performing arts company Bright Night International (BNI) and Glasgow Parkour Coaching (GPC) created a dynamic new performance style suitable for all the family, drawing on parkour, acrobatics, dance, stunts, gymnastics, breakdance and physical theatre.

"There was a buzz of parkour and free-running through the whole city for days afterwards. The people loved it!"Spoffin Production Assistant, JAMP Amersfoort

BY THE SEAT OF YOUR PANTS

Saturday 19th May, 4:00 pm

Edinburgh based Plutôt la Vie was founded in 2003 by Tim Licata and Ian Cameron with a desire to create imaginative, visually driven performances. Their new show By the Seat of Your Pants is a hilarious, slapstick venture into the world of three men and a chair! Nothing to be done and nothing to do. Fritz, Franz and Rudy sit and wait. Expectation! Hope! Boredom! Delight! Not to take things sitting down, they put their best feet forward to make the grade and avoid a kick in the pants. A fast, visual, funny show in a clown style for children aged 7+ and their families. Lasts 60 mins

"…sequence after sequence of inspired comedy… a torrent of creativity, and a profound playfulness… the kids are literally skipping with pleasure, as they run out of the theatre, yelling "Dad! We've had a great time!" Joyce McMillan, The Scotsman ****
