The family fun will kick off next month, on August 27, with Goblin Theatre’s new show, ‘Hey Diddle Diddle.’

This amusing show tells the full story of how the cow jumped over the moon and why the dish ran away with the spoon - all presented in a mixture of original songs, puppetry and comedy.

On October 20, KD Theatre Production, and Scott Ritchie Productions, will present a fresh adaptation of Lewis Carroll’s ‘Alice in Wonderland.’

With a collection of new songs and energetic performances, it’s a chance to explore Alice’s Wonderland world of mad tea parties, crazy croquet and a time conscious white rabbit.

Far Far Away Theatre, a Community Partner of The Montgomery, will present its family Halloween musical, ‘I Want my Mummy,’ later the same month, with shows running from October 29 to 31.

‘Soonchild’ - which will take to the stage on October 27 - is an Arctic adventure with live music, 3D and shadow puppets and a cosmic Northern Lights show.
