THEME ️
*********
There is no strict theme at our end of year events you should feel free to tell whatever stories you would like! However if you would like a theme to prompt you you are invited to tell stories on the theme of Lights. ?✨?
Stories of everything that glows dazzles and illuminates. ✨?Fairy lights Christmas trees and the flicker of candles. Headtorches bonfires and headlights on a long road. Neon signs stargazing and shooting stars. Birthday cakes explosions and housefires. Moments when the lights went out or when they came on at just the right time. Fireworks lanterns and streetlights. That time the power went out that time the Christmas tree caught fire or when the batteries ran out on the flashlight in a dark place...
Have you got a story about Lights? Then come share with us at the Wardrobe Theatre on December 15th ✨?
