From www.castlebar.ie General This year, Mayo County Council's Children's Theatre tour brought ‘A Magic Merry Christmas’, presented by Belfast-based streetWISE Community Theatre to Primary schools in the Ballycastle/Killala, Ballina/Crossmolina and Foxford/Swinford areas.
“Peabrain the magician is preparing for a visit from his old friend Santa, and decides to take on ‘professional’ decorators Jim and Syd to make sure everything looks just right. The job suddenly gets even harder when a mischievous witch gets into Peabrain’s house! Can Jim and Syd make everything right, or will Santa’s visit have to be cancelled?”
Mayo County Council's Children's Theatre Tour aim was to bring a theatre experience to schools in areas where there is little or no access to theatre events.
Over three days (Wednesday 8th - Friday 10th December), more than 800 children attended performances in Ballina Sports & Leisure Centre, Killala Community Centre and the Admiral Brown Memorial Hall, Foxford, enjoying the exciting and fun-filled show. The multi talented cast entertained the children with illusions, magic routines, juggling, unicycling, ladder balancing, acrobatics, fire juggling and a slap-stick comic double-act providing non-stop comedy all the way!
A great time was had by children from the following schools
Lahardane NS, Crossmolina NS, Ratheskin NS, Creevagh NS, Annaghmore NS, Banagher NS, Glenmore NS, St. Joseph’s NS, Killala, Cooneal NS, Templemary NS & Newtownwhite NS, Lisaniska NS, Cloghans NS, SS Peter & Paul NS, Straide, Swinford NS Scoil Muire & Treasa, Swinford, Scoil an Chroí Naofa, Foxford and Currabeggan NS, Knockmore.
