There will be fun for all the family at a County Durham theatre
this spring thanks to a variety of uplifting productions aimed at younger
audiences.
From enchanting adaptations of popular children’s books, to
fascinating science experiments – the Gala Theatre in Durham is the place to go
for family-friendly entertainment.
Tickets are now on sale for all shows in the spring
programme and the public is urged to book their tickets to avoid missing out.
Families who enjoyed the star-studded Christmas TV animation
of The Tiger who Came to Tea can
spend even more time with Sophie and her large stripy friend at the Gala
Theatre. Direct from the West End, the Olivier Award nominated stage adaptation
of Judith Kerr’s bestselling story will delight County Durham audiences on
Saturday 29 February and Sunday 1 March.

The smash hit production of Julia Donaldson’s Zog will also return to the Gala on
Saturday 21 and Sunday 22 March. Featuring new songs by Joe Stilgoe, families
can join the enthusiastic, accident prone young hero as he bumps, burns and
roars his way through his studies at Madam Dragon’s school.
From a 21st century classic, to a story that has
captivated children and adults alike for more than 100 years, a musical
adaptation of the Wind in the Willows
will entertain fans at the Gala Theatre from Thursday 30 January to Saturday 1
February. Presented by Durham High School for Girls, the production brings the
adventures of Toad, Ratty and Mole to life through uplifting and joyous music.

Those who like their entertainment more explosive will not
want to miss the captivating chemistry, phenomenal physics and bonkers biology
that make up Morgan and West’s
Unbelievable Science! The science extravaganza is set to blow minds at the
Gala on Sunday 15 February.
Rose and Robin,
meanwhile, is a celebration of growing old and is the perfect play for children
to enjoy with their grandparents. This uplifting piece of physical and largely
non-verbal theatre comes to the Gala on Thursday 20 February.
Other highlights include Little Red Riding Hood, a child-friendly ballet presented by
Northern Ballet on Wednesday 1 April, and Wolf!,
on Thursday 9 April. This is a fun-filled puppet adventure that reveals
what actually happens when Jack cries wolf.
Robin Byers, Gala Theatre manager, said: “Childhood trips to
the theatre can create memories that last a lifetime, which is why we believe
it’s so important to offer a variety of family shows each season. We are really
excited about the productions coming up this spring and we can’t wait to share
the magic with children and the young at heart.”
