Under the Parasol

27 Sep 08 - 26 Oct 08

Under the Parasol

Following a successful pilot earlier this year, tutti frutti’s most experienced performer Stewart Thomas will introduce the Smarties prize winning book Hue Boy to children aged 4-7 across Yorkshire.  

 

Hue Boy may be the smallest boy in his village but he is big news.  Pumpkin soup and exercise… just some of the suggestions to make him grow. 

We invite you to be transported to a Caribbean village through this heart-warming storytelling performance.  Set in a beautiful environment designed by theatre designer Alison Heffernan, the children will be invited to sit in the story telling zone and enjoy this unique interactive experience.

Thank you for a wonderful day and one which has sparked enthusiasm in our classroom and children's homes.  It also provided our children with an opportunity to experience stories from other cultures. Rothwell St Marys Primary School
