What's On at the Polka
The Polka Children's Theatre has announced its summer 2003 season:
In the Main Theatre...
THE HAPPY PRINCE
15th - 26th April and 17th - 28th June
for children aged 4 - 7
An abandoned park comes to life; birds fly and little creatures scuffle
in the overgrown plants and discarded rubbish. A boy and a girl arrive
in the park, both with a tale to tell, and finding all they need in
the garden, they begin their story of a little swallow who takes a
rest one day next to the golden statue of The Happy Prince... Full
of magic and music, Annie Wood's adaptation of Oscar Wilde's classic
tale promises to be a princely treat for the Easter holidays!
WHY THE WHALES CAME
By Michael Morpurgo
1st May - 7th June
for children aged 8 - 13
Theatre Alibi brings you a gripping island adventure in May with Why
the Whales Came. Based on the novel by best-selling author Michael
Morpurgo, it tells the story of two friends, Gracie and Daniel, who
befriend the 'Birdman' and find themselves unravelling the haunting
secrets of Samson Island...
THE STORY OF THE LITTLE GENTLEMAN

for children aged 4 - 7
To kick off our 'Polka Summer Shorts' season, the award-winning Catherine
Wheels Theatre Company brings you a beautiful new play about the power

introduction to physical theatre and also features live music and
an original score.
PEACEMAKER

MARTHA'S WILD GOOSE CHASE
8thJuly - 9th August
for children aged 4 - 8
A smash on Broadway, Martha's Wild Goose Chase is a hysterical,
but ultimately moving tale of how a dancing goose warms the heart
of a reclusive old woman and changes her life forever. Definitely
one not to miss!

We've a different adventure each week with visiting companies, including
CTC Theatre, Theatr Iolo and performance storyteller, Sandra Agard.
And then in June...
HOME FROM HOME
