Theatre for toddlers

Spiral Staircase Theatre Company will be performing 'Harold and Sophie' at the Mullingar Arts Centre on Thursday and Friday, October 22 and 23, with two shows daily at 10am and 11.30 am.Harold is a snail and naturally enough he likes to bake cakes. His best friend another snail is called Sophie and she likes to spend her days looking after her flowers and blowing bubbles. Harold and Sophie live in the most beautiful garden in the world but sometimes even an existence as idyllic as this can seem threatened by new and external forces.Upon hearing the strange noises that lie just over the grass, the two snails become very frightened but encouraged by their trusty friend Mossy the caterpillar they decide to explore what lies beyond their own garden. This journey of discovery enables the tiny creatures to learn a little bit more about themselves and the outside world and to begin the process of overcoming their fears.The show is suitable for ages 3+. The tickets are priced at €8.00 each.If you would like to book for any of these shows please call the Mullingar Arts Centre on 044 9347777.
