Liverpool Theatre Festival returns to coincide with the school summer holidays and the programme features nine family shows.
The event usually takes place in September, but has been brought forward.
The nine-strong line-up include specially commissioned new shows The Oogy Boogy Man and Fred The Musical, as well as The Magic Bookmark With Mama G, Magic Gareth: Level Up!, Rubbish Romeo And Juliet, The Monkey With No Bum, Shout! The Mod Musical, Dame Fanny & Her Fabulous Friends and The Tempest.
The fourth annual Liverpool Theatre Festival takes place between July 20 and 30 and features a total of 24 performances. Once again, it will take place outdoors at St Luke’s Bombed Out Church in Liverpool city centre.
Alongside the family shows, the festival also features evening shows of comedy, drama, music, opera and musical theatre.
