Puppet theatre to perform at six primary schools

Sat, 19 Jan 2019

An imaginative, explorative and educational live theatre experience will return to island schools later this month.

Lempen Puppet Theatre Company will make its annual visit to perform at six local primary schools from Wednesday 30th January to Thursday 7th February. The husband and wife duo will perform Carboard Carnival, a wordless show using the music from 'The Carnival of the Animals' by French composer Camille Saint Saens.

Liz Lempen from Lempen Puppet Theatre Company, said: 'Cardboard Carnival is a playful production carefully designed to inspire children to be more creative and explorative, and encourage play using simple materials. We're delighted to bring the show back for those who missed out on the 2018 tour and are looking forward to spending some more time on the beautiful Isle of Man.' 

Cardboard Carnival will be performed at Foxdale School, Jurby School, Braddan School, Manor Park School, St Johns School and Bunscoill Ghaelgagh.
