A COMPANY of actors will bring outdoor magic to Wokingham this summer in this year’s Wokingham Theatre in the Park event.
Enchanted Performers Theatre Company’s children’s show, Letters to the Fairies, will invite families to step into a world of imagination, music and enchantment .
Created especially for children from babies to age 10 and their families, the 40 minute long show is a heartwarming interactive musical theatre adventure filled with storytelling, song, dance and gentle audience participation.
It follows Bea, a little girl whose garden flowers won’t grow.
Her grandmother believes the fairies are unhappy because Bea has stopped believing in them.
Determined to make things right, Bea writes a letter to the fairies and with the audience’s help, a magical journey begins.
As enchanting letters are delivered and fairy messages arrive, Bea rediscovers belief, friendship and the wonder of the natural world.
Pitched for young audiences, the production explores themes of imagination, kindness, emotional resilience, and connection with nature, all brought to life through lively performance and a visually charming finale.
Following the performance, audiences will also have the chance to enjoy a meet and greet with the characters, along with bubbleology from one of the fairies, adding even more magical fun to the event.
Produced by Enchanted Performers Theatre Company, based in Old Windsor, the show is part of the company’s mission to create imaginative, family-friendly theatre experiences for children and their grown-ups.
A spokesperson for the company said: “Letters to the Fairies is all about wonder, belief and bringing families together through theatre.
“We’re so excited to share this magical adventure with audiences in Wokingham, and we can’t wait to meet everyone after the show for fairy fun and bubbleology.”
