Theatrebugs Bug Blog

Yes- that’s right! Not only are The Bugs spooking all of South London with their ghoulish holiday workshops but this weekend marks the launch of Theatrebugs Halloween Parties! The party guests will be very busy helping to solve the mystery of the frozen animals and of course they’ll have to teach that silly Red Witch a lesson; There’s always time for fun and games though; our Halloween entertainers have got lots of spookily themed games under their hat like witches cauldron, Catch the Frog, Witches Cackle and Haunted House….to name but a few!

Book one now…if you dare! Mwah, mwah, mwah! (Nothing too scary really; suitable for rising 4 to 8 years!)

And don’t forget….we’re performing our terrifying…well…..a little bit terrifying…show “The Grobble Returns” in Stockeld Park on Friday evening. Tickets are going fast; so don’t delay…book today!

We can’t wait to see you there!

It’s that time of year again folks…time for the Bug’s spooktastic Halloween courses at a venue near you!

It’s St Luke’s Community Centre on Ramsen Road in Balham today…..it’s very spooky down there indeed, cobwebs on the doors, pumpkins on the walls,  lots of children creeping about in witches and wizards costumes dancing to the Monster Mash and singing about the Itchy Witchy Spider! Lots more courses running this week…..some places still available on some of them….give The Bug HQ a tinkle to book yours now!

Following the success of last year’s “Theatre in the Woods”, the Bugs have been recomissoned by Stockeld Park to write and perform another spooktastic tale!  “The Grobble Returns” will be performed on October 30th 2009 at Stockeld Park, Wetherby, Yorkshire, LS22 4AW. Rehearsals are taking place this week so if you see some ghostly characters wandering around Battersea Park; fear not!  It’s probably just The Bugs trying out their spooky lines!

Our interactive, promenade tale is all about missing wands, wingless fairies,  grobbles, talking trees, wishing wells, magic spells and of course some enormous ogres and flying unicorns! We can’t wait to perform it!

Due to popular demand the Bugs have started up another after school club in the upstairs room at the Hawker Centre! It will run from 4-5pm on a Monday afternoon (alongside our original one- which is now full).

Turn that frown into a smile boys and girls….now there’s room for more!

By the way…..we got a lovely letter from Emma Danby at Maggie’s about “The Teddy Bear’s Picnic” (our 2009 summer show that we perfromed in Fulham Palace Gardens in September). Emma wrote

“Theatrebugs was a huge hit, the show was absolutely brilliant and your team so adaptable to the venue change, thank you!”

They raised over £2000 for the charity- that made all of us at the Bug Headquarters smile!
