Pop-up Story Theatre

Story-telling meets Interactive Theatre!

Our Pop-Up Story Theatre invites members of the audience to become part of the story,

and together we create a performance that is unique because you were there.

​

Outdoor performances for small audiences

Carefully adapted one-man shows following PHE guidance.

Children can join in with the action, say lines, create the soundscape, and become interactive scenery,

as we immerse ourselves in the fun of performing together, in a safe and managed environment.

Keeping everyone safe:

​Pop-Up Story Theatre for schools:

  • Performances will be outside wherever possible, or otherwise a hall (not a classroom) must be available so that we have lots of space. 

  • Maximum of 15 children per performance, with potential for up to 30 children arranged in two discrete ‘bubbles’ of maximum 15, which won't be in contact with each-other. Maximum 4 performances per day of 45 minutes duration each.

  • If required, children can be spaced 2m apart within the 'bubbles' (see plan below), we have 'seating spots' to help with this

  • Treehouse Theatre will wear PPE in school at times when social distancing is not possible (for example on arrival at school and in reception)

  • During performances Treehouse actors will be at least 2m distance from the children and staff

  • Use of props will be kept to actors. Any costumes worn by children will be one child per use and washed between every show.

  • We can provide you with worksheets to make your own props before the show.

  • We will discuss any additional requirements with you beforehand - we are very flexible and adaptable.
