As spooky season descends, join us for a LHT Unwrapped: Drama Day! Using drama games, physical theatre and ensemble play, we’ll be exploring everything that goes bump in the night…
Potion Party (Ages 6 – 8): Step into our witches’ workshop and discover the magic of potion-making. You’ll dream up brews with extraordinary effects – potions that make you grow taller than a giant, shrink as small as a mouse, wobble like jelly, or dance without stopping!
Build a Beastie (Ages 9 – 11): Become a young Dr. Frankenstein for the day! Using costumes, props and a touch of imagination, design and construct your very own beasties – stitching together strange features, adding claws, wings or tentacles, and dreaming up quirks to make each monster unique.
Something Spooky… (Ages 12 – 14): Enter the world of Shakespeare’s spookiest play for a thrilling introduction to his world of witches, battles, and magic. Together we’ll chant around the cauldron, bring to life the witches’ strange spells, and stage the famous scenes as Macbeth meets his fate.
