A packed Village Hall was treated to a wonderful performance of an uplifting tale of adventure and friendship featuring great songs, clever puppets and warm and engaging performers.
We were delighted so many children were able to come and the response from audience members was very gratifying.
The story tells of the quest that Eira, a Snowsmith, takes from the grumpy town of Thawmor, which has been without snow for years. No one believes it ever even existed! No one, except Eira… and she is determined to bring it back.
Performed by Half a String – this company uses puppetry, design and original music to craft fantastical human stories that are grounded in live performance. They tour theatre, publish books and work with people of all ages to unleash creativity. Their community of artists explore ideas to create accessible, intelligent and astonishing work that champions meaningful collective experiences.
The Snowsmith – Pay What You Can Ticketing
The RAP Committee has designated The Snowsmith a pay-what-you-can event. With the cost of living as it is, we know accessing cultural events is hard and we want to ensure as many people who want to can attend. Choose a price that works best for your financial situation. We do not ask for any proof of eligibility but will ask for your honesty as the scheme is only made possible by RAP’s limited reserves. These reserves are built with the generosity of RAP Members and Patrons. Only the RAP Treasurer will be able to see who pays what for a ticket; any reports used by the Committee will be anonymised.
