CHRISTMAS ‘TALES FROM THE SHED’ – ‘TALES FROM GEPPETTO’S WORKSHOP’

This Christmas do something different with your family; come to Chickenshed and experience the magical theatre for children this winter in Geppetto’s Workshop for a limited time only!

Come and join the world where everybody can share together, explore and believe in the magic and make it happen!

After a sell out tour of Christmas Tales last year, the Chickenshed Tales team are back with a newly devised, fun packed entertaining adaptation of Pinocchio’s story called ‘Tales from Geppetto’s workshop’. Our story follows the toys that are left behind in Geppetto’s workshop. You will all be apart of the story of the most recent toy created, a puppet who has no story, we will all embark on a journey to discover her story, with a little help from a few of our familiar friends from the shed and also some new ones too all helping the puppet complete three good deeds to grant the puppet her wish of what ever she wants. But what does she wish for? Come and find out in Geppetto’s workshop!

A Show where there is no edge to the stage, YOU, ME and US will create this story!

This is a fantastic way to stimulate your child’s creative imagination while eing educated to The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS). ‘Tales of Geppetto’s Workshop’ looks at the themes of giving, growing and learning to love who we are, using song, slapstick, puppetry, interaction and improvisation. ‘Tales from the shed is part of Chickenshed’s inclusive theatre programme, which has been created for ALL children to participate in and enjoy, for every child to learn in an creative environment.

  1. hello laura,
    i really enjoyed reading your marketing piece. The lenght of the piece is just right and kept my attention throughout. Your choice to add coloured text has definatly improved the piece. It makes me focus on the important information that you are highlighting.

    I think you should also highlight the contact numbers to call. As if the reader is scaning through again it will be easier for them to quickly find the contact details.

    In my research I have found starting a marketing piece with a question to be a positive clear beginning to marketing pieces. It makes it very obvious to the reader that it is a marketing piece within the first sentence. Maybe you should start with "Want to do something different with your family this christmas...then come and join Chickenshed in the magical world of theatre"

    What do you think...

  3. hi laura
    Your welcome, it gets to a point when you think how many times must I re-draft to get the perfect piece?
