Antiques & Collectables Fair // 6 Dec

Santa’s
Rusty Robot
// 8-24 Dec
In response to the
success of Santa’s
Dizzy Day, which
played at a number
of theatres around
the country last Christmas, Iain Lauchlan and Imagine Theatre have come
up with a brand new Santa show for the 2-6yr olds. This year Santa is
having a bit of a problem with a friendly robot which he must deliver to
someone on Christmas night and, unfortunately, it has been left out in the
snow all night by mistake. When Santa brings it into his workshop the robot
has rusted up completely and can’t speak or move. Santa has to get the
help of the children to find a way to get the robot’s voice and movement
back. Santa’s Rusty Robot is a show packed with fun, songs, Christmas
cheer and lots for the children to get involved with.
