NURSERY SHOWS
There’s nothing more exciting than a day at the theatre. We bring stories to life on stage with productions happening throughout the school year.
School Visits
Throughout the year we offer lots of creative learning opportunities for students of all ages. Your class can experience a live theatre show, enjoy world-class art exhibitions, or enjoy a creative workshop led by professional artists.
When it comes to bringing a lesson alive, The Market Place Theatre, Armagh is the place to be. We’ve welcomed thousands of school children to the Market Place Theatre, so if you haven’t been to visit us yet here are a few ideas of how to get the most from your Market Place Theatre visit.
Upcoming Productions
Moonlight Dream | 24-25 February | 10am & 12pm | £5
Moonlight Dream is an enchanting dance and live music experience for young audiences and their adults by choreographer Georgia Tegou and composer Ursula Burns.
Moonlight Dream follows a child’s journey to sleep where they meet a playful fox and a caring bear. Together they explore the night sky and discover what is possible in a dream world, where ideas can be limitless.
Suitable for 0-6 year olds and their adults. Open to Nursery and P1-P3 groups.
A Maiden Voyage Dance and Luail co-commission. Funded by Arts Council of Northern Ireland and Arts Council Ireland.
Teddy’s Day On The Farm | 14 April | 10am | £8
Teddy’s best friend Sammy complains that she always has to make breakfast. It would be good if Eddy the Teddy made it for a change.
Eddy takes the hint and is up very early next morning. Unfortunately, there are no eggs, so Eddy has to go out to get one. He has no luck at the shop so he heads to the farm to get a fresh egg.
Poor Eddy doesn’t even know what animal lays eggs. Will Sammy get her breakfast?
The show uses many elements of theatre, mime, puppetry and songs to join in with. It’s a perfect introduction to live entertainment for children who’ve never been to a show before, and a welcome return for Eddy the Teddy’s young fans.
Suitable for children aged 6 and under.
This event will take place in our studio theatre with an unreserved, tiered seating layout.
