Let’s Celebrate 75 years of the Wynne School of Dancing

Come and celebrate 75 years of dance with Havering’s oldest established family dance school. This performance is dedicated to the life, memory and work of Miss Freda Wynne who started the school back in 1948 in the family dining room with just a handful of pupils!

Thousands of children and adults have been a part of the school’s story, many having gone on to professional careers. So, let’s celebrate the joy of dance together in this colourful performance showcasing the whole school. … 5 6 7 8 !

The Toy Factory

The Habbit Factory’s children’s company shares the story of BITS, an old toy shop that has been run by Bert Ives and his family since 1966.

However, with screens and devices taking over children’s lives, the future of BITS is at risk. As Bert’s family has moved on, he is left to save the shop alone. When his daughter Joanne visits with her children, will they rediscover the joy of traditional toys and help save the shop?

This heart-warming tale of family, nostalgia, and the power of imagination reminds us of the importance of preserving cherished traditions and the simple pleasures of childhood.

The Addams Family School Edition

NCC Ardleigh Green Performing Arts students proudly present THE ADDAMS FAMILY, a comical feast that embraces the wackiness in every family, features an original story and it’s every father’s nightmare: Wednesday Addams, the ultimate princess of darkness, has grown up and fallen in love with a sweet, smart young man from a respectable family–a man her parents have never met. And if that wasn’t upsetting enough, Wednesday confides in her father and begs him not to tell her mother. Now, Gomez Addams must do something he’s never done before–keep a secret from his beloved wife, Morticia. Everything will change for the whole family on the fateful night they host a dinner for Wednesday’s “normal” boyfriend and his parents.

THE ADDAMS FAMILY School Edition has been adapted from the original Off-Broadway Production. The School Edition has been carefully edited, with additional director’s notes throughout, to make the show more producible for high school groups.

Our House

Revolving around the music of the legendary ska band, Madness, and written by Tim Firth, (Calendar Girls), Our House is a very British musical.

Set in 1980s Camden Town, this hilarious and evocative musical tells the story of London boy, Joe Casey. The night of his sixteenth birthday sees him out on his first date with his dream girl, Sarah, but events end up far from the romantic night he’d imagined. Desperate to impress, he breaks into a new building development, overlooking his own home in Casey Street, to show Sarah the view over north London. When the police arrive he has to make a lightning decision. Does he stay and face the consequences, or does he run? It is at this point his life splits in two and we witness the fortunes, and misfortunes of Good Joe and Bad Joe.

As we watch the two parallel stories unfold and hurtle towards the explosive climax, we find out if that one quick decision of sixteen-year-old Joe changes his life and the lives of those around him. Does his choice lead him into a life of crime, or will he do the right thing? Does he turn his back on his home, family, the girl he loves and all that is dear to him, or will love, loyalty, and a sense of community win out?

Don’t miss this thumping good comedy musical, accompanied by all the iconic Madness tunes, (Embarrassment, Baggy Trousers, It Must Be Love, House of Fun, Driving in My Car, Night Boat to Cairo and many more classics). If you grew up to the soundtrack of Madness, and London life in the 1980s, it’ll be a nostalgic and heart-warming night out and a great show to share with friends.
