Under the Parasol

05 Jul 10 - 30 Jul 10

Under the Parasol

Thanks to funding received from Find Your Talent, we are delighted to be able to remount Under the Parasol - a performed reading of Hue Boy by Rita Phillips Mitchell (30 mins) and associated workshop (1 hour).  The tour encompasses Morley Schools and a couple of free public performances - Harehills Festival, Morley Library and Rothwell Library.


Be transported to a Caribbean village through this heart-warming storytelling performance.  tutti frutti’s most experienced performer Stewart Thomas will bring to life the Smarties prize winning book Hue Boy to children aged 4-7.  

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. 

Set in a beautiful environment, the children will be invited to sit in the story telling zone and enjoy this unique interactive experience.
