EDUCATIONAL THEATRE
Blue Moon tour children's theatre productions and workshops to schools all over the UK. We believe that the purpose of theatre in education is to produce a performance that will captivate children's imagination. The company offers a full range of packages - from an hour's storytelling to a full day visit.
Workshops are available, providing the audience with plenty of opportunities to participate. A question and answer session with all cast members can also be arranged after the show.
