School Production "Porridge"

Full CalendarSchool Calendar

This event will take place between 6:30pm and 8:00pm on 09/12/2019 until 12/12/2019

When a crime wave hits Happy Valley, there's a caseload of mysteries to be solved! Who's stolen Ma Hubbard's recipe book? Who's kidnapped  Marigold the cow? And what dirty secret is Papa Bear hiding behind his Porridge empire? It's down to Private Detective Jack Spratt to uncover the terrifying truth in this tale of mystery, mayhem and breakfast cereal!

Join Jack, Goldie Lox and a cast of crazy characters including barmy billy goats, loopy lumberjacks, a potty police squad and a runaway cow in this brand new side-splitting musical comedy.

It's a  familiar tale, told like you've never heard  before with familiar fairy tale folk brought to life as you've never imagined! Porridge has all the ingredients of a delicious production - packed with spoonful's of sparkling songs and bowlfuls of belly-laughs.
