Outside In Theatre Company is thrilled to announce its upcoming series of playful and
interactive storytelling sessions. Coming to Lilbourne, Yelvertoft and Crick this September, the adventures are specially created for 0 to 5-year-olds and their grown-ups

‘Where Will We Wonder?’ will take place in three spaces across the Yelvertoft area between 23rd September and 8th October. In each session, children will join Ollie and Mum in exploring imaginary and exciting worlds: the seaside, the forest and the moon, all followed by a stay-and-play session. This sensory storytelling and play experience invites families to join Ollie and Mum as they find ways to discover the wonder of their imaginations without ever leaving the house.

Blending music, magic and humour, audiences will be transported on an enchanting adventure, where another world is only ever a daydream away. With sensory props made from everyday items to encourage and inspire families to keep on exploring at home.

‘Where Will We Wonder?’ has been created by Hazel Barnes and Helen Crevel, Co-Artistic Directors and founders of Northamptonshire-based Outside In Theatre.

Incorporating Outside In Theatre’s highly personal and relaxed performance style, “Where Will We Wonder?” has been crafted to be inclusive and accessible to children and grown-ups of different needs and abilities. A free-form stay and play follows the main performance to enable families to continue sharing and growing their creativity together.

Hazel said: “We’re passionate about creating innovative projects that promote health and wellbeing through the arts, and we’ve enjoyed bringing our unique approach of immersive theatre to this joyful storytelling and play event.

“It’s important to us that our work is accessible and inclusive for everyone. That’s why we’ve created a series of three magical adventures supported with funding from Northamptonshire
Community Foundation and the Janet and Bryan Moore Charitable Trust, which means we can offer the sessions for free for children and families in these rural areas.”

“Where Will We Wonder?” is a three-session experience based over three consecutive weeks at each venue. Each session bringing the characters and the audiences into a new imaginative world with fun new ways to play. Outside In encourages families to attend all three of the play sessions to create a familiar play routine for young children, reinforcing those all important imaginative play skills.

Each session runs at approximately 1 hour, and includes a “Wonder-at-Home” bag, in which children can find exciting keepsakes from the show to help their play at home.
