Panto time kicks off in Telford – Cinderella will go to the ball.

01 Jan 2014

by Kirsty Smallman

Christmas officially arrived for me today as the first panto performance of the season kicked off at The Place in Oakengates, Telford. As a family with a three-and-a-half-year-old and a 20-month-old, we joined hundreds of schoolchildren from across the county to watch Cinderella. With flamboyant costumes and a show packed full of quality singing and dancing including a special song […]

Kevin Bl*ody Wilson – hilarious, filthy, non-PC and I loved it! Theatre Severn, Shrewsbury

01 Jan 2014

by Kirsty Smallman

I have a confession. Until last night I was a Kevin Bl*ody Wilson virgin. That’s right I’d never seen him on tour, watched his DVD or read his book. At Theatre Severn in Shrewsbury last night as the majority of the audience joined in with the singing (and they weren’t the conventional words I knew!) it was clear I was […]

Tick tock – time machine experience for toddler audience at Theatre Severn.

01 Jan 2014

by Kirsty Smallman

Taking a three year old and 18 month old to a theatre for a 90 minute show may sound like a nightmare to some parents but if you have read my previous blogs on Eddie and Archie’s experiences at Theatre Severn in Shrewsbury then you’ll know what they do. They don’t talk, don’t move and simply nod when we check […]

Tick-Tock – more CBeebies fun at the theatre on our way.

01 Jan 2014

by Kirsty Smallman

On Sunday I’ll be going on a time machine with my husband and two young sons. Okay so perhaps it won’t be a real time machine but in the eyes of my two young sons, aged three and 18 months, who will be watching Andy and Mike’s Tick-Tock Time Machine show at Theatre Severn it will be very real! We […]

A glass slipper? Surely not – isn’t it welly weather?

01 Jan 2014

by Kirsty Smallman

A glass slipper? Not really the footwear of the day in this torrential rain but it was the topic of conversation at Madeley Court Hotel today. Oh no it wasn’t? You’ve guessed it – Telford’s panto season is on its way with the arrival of the town’s own star Lucy Pollard as Cinderella. At just 19 years old and her […]

Vintage Steam Rally…. Me? Yes please!

01 Jan 2014

by Kirsty Smallman

Despite living in Shropshire all of my life I had never visited the Shrewsbury Vintage Steam & Vintage Vehicle Rally until today! The fact I am now outnumbered and have three men in my life (one husband who has the backing of a three-year-old son and a 16-month-old son) means the boys and their toys win! But this evening I […]

Murder on the Nile…and on the River Severn!

01 Jan 2014

by Rhea Alton

An Agatha Christie creation with a star-studded cast could surely lead to nothing but a night of compelling entertainment as the 2012 production of Murder on the Nile took to the boards at Theatre Severn. And those with high expectations would, I am sure, have left completely satisfied after the curtain fell. Joe Harmston, Artistic Director, himself describes the production […]

A trucker’s wife at a trucker’s show

01 Jan 2014

by Kirsty Smallman

As a trucker’s wife there was only one place I was going to be this weekend… Shropshire Truck Show at Oswestry. And as my parents only live five minutes from Oswestry Show Ground there really was no excuse. To my delight there was no need for me to have tried to think of any excuses as it was a great […]

Chris and Pui of ‘Show Me, Show Me’ at Theatre Severn

01 Jan 2014

by Six Ticks Support

From the screen to the stage… that’s what happened when Chris and Pui from CBeebies hit show ‘Show Me Show Me’ appeared at Shrewsbury’s Theatre Severn. Children, mostly pre-school age, jumped off their seats and did their “groovy moves” as their favourite stars led the way on stage. The show was a huge hit with two-and-a-half-year-old Eddie from the start […]

Jaw-dropping entertainment on ice at Shrewsbury’s Theatre Severn…

01 Jan 2014

by Rhea Alton

It is difficult to type because my hands are red raw after attempting to give the Russian Ice Stars the applause they deserved following tonight’s Cinderella on Ice performance at Shrewsbury’s Theatre Severn. Telling the story of Cinderella the stars gave outstanding performances from beginning to end with much more than ice skating skills to entertain the audience. To fulfill […]
