Mr. Albert's BIG Finish
Follow your dreams... don't give up... have-a-go... believe in yourself and amazing things can happen, in this inspirational children's theatre production they do! Mr Albert is faced with adversity, his Theatre is about to close. Charlie the Caretaker wants to save it by putting on a show, but they need a Big Finish!
Ages 5 - 11 & Families
Run Time: 1 hour (no interval)
Magic Circus
IT'S A DISASTER! When the artistes and elephants don't arrive for the show the Ringmaster's planned extravaganza has to be left to the Clowns... and they make a fantastically messy job of it! Magic Carpet have taken traditional Circus and Variety skills, dusted them down and invested them with new life and moulded them into an hilarious and mystifying play with a Circus theme.
With high production values, sets that fill a stage, artistic lighting, audience interaction, intriguing theatrical illusions and hilarious scripts, all our productions are audience pleasing family shows suitable for all small and middle scale venues.
For rural arts touring promoters and community venues, Magic Carpet are fully self-contained with sound and light rig.
For schools there are versions for Reception/Nursery, KS1 and KS2. There is a Teacher’s Pack available with stimulating cross-curricular activities for follow-up and preparation. It’s possible to perform two shows in an AM session and one in a PM session.

Colourful, amusing, imaginative plus full of fun, you captivated the audience
Pursglove Leisure Centre
Magic Carpet at the Brewhouse Theatre, Taunton. For scores of parents Magic Carpet provided the solution to what to do in the six-week-long summer break. This fun show had the packed audience roaring out loud for the full 75 minutes keeping them all thoroughly entertained

Keeps the audience enthralled and the children on the edge of their seats... the special effects and illusions are of Magic Circle quality.

Having sold out both performances I am sure I made the right decision in booking Magic Carpet Theatre to open our new series of Children's Theatre.

I have been involving children with Magic Carpet since the 1990s. Every single show is outstanding. Every show is different and I am continually impressed with the interaction between the performers and the audience. The ability and desire for impromptu interaction is a rare quality these days - the desire to allow children to participate is a refreshing change in this 'top-down' world. In this production, though extremely well written and performed, the children shine. I cannot do anything else than strongly recommend Magic Carpet to absolutely everyone. i have seen them work with 300 children and also with 75 in large halls and small halls. My advice - book them now before it's too late! Many thanks Magic Carpet for bringing a bit of Magic back into education- for everyone!

The audience roared with applause!

We were packed to capacity for the show, due partly to the excellent reputation of your last visit and partly to the very good publicity you sent us.
