A 45-minute Christmas theatre show for under-7s, with relaxed performances and a meet-and-greet with the characters.
Theatre Space North East are bringing a new Christmas show, The Brand New Adventures of Santa and Scruff, to Culture House Sunderland from Friday 11 December, running through to Christmas Eve. It's written by Jamie Brown and directed by Corinne Kilvington, and it's aimed squarely at under-7s and their grown-ups.
The story follows Scruff, a Sunderland street pup who howls a Christmas wish into the snowy winter sky. He gets a magical reply, and then sets off to find a place where Santa can land his sleigh. It's a simple, festive setup, and the whole run is built around the youngest audiences: the show runs about 45 minutes, every performance is staged in relaxed conditions, and the curtain call opens into a cast photo and a meet-and-greet with the characters. It's recommended for ages 0-6.
