is being run by the Wheel House Theatre Company; it is their first full term there and they hope to make a good impression with productions, live music, and workshops throughout the year. They have also started a theatre school for 7-16 year olds that specialises in musical theatre, drama, singing, and dancing.
The children's theatre is at Merton Abbey Mills and every weekend holds fairytale based productions. Here's what's coming up this autumn:
Elliart Creative Classes
Every Tuesday and Thursday morning take your baby or pre-schooler down to the Colour House Theatre for a 45 minutes of creative, messy fun.
9.45am-10.30am and 10.50am-11.35am. Tickets are £7.50.
Robin Hood and Maid Marian
Robin Hood steals from the rich and gives to the poor. He also wants to marry the lovely Maid Marian, but that could be difficult with the nasty, swindling sheriff of Nottingham about.
This is the show's 84th production in 17 years, so this proves how popular it is. The show is packed with songs and effects, and is fun for all the family. It is held every Saturday and Sunday at 2pm & 4pm until the 11th November, and tickets are £10 or £8 for concessions.

Once Upon A Fairy Tale
Over the half term there will be a drama workshop. All the fairy tale characters are going to the Amarillo Party for a big karaoke night, but the problem is, they don't want to go back to their books. It is up to the children to send them back to the right fairy tale before midnight, or who knows what could happen?
The 45 minute workshop is suitable for 3-12 year olds, followed by the show itself. You have a choice of just going to the show, or having the kids participate beforehand, dressing up as all their favourite fairy tale characters.
The workshops are at 2pm and 4pm between Monday 29th October and Friday 2nd November. Tickets are £10 each, but if you buy two, then you get one free.

Jack and The Bean Stalk
After Robin Hood goes on his merry way, in enters Jack a bag of magic beans. He traded his cow for these beans and his mum was none too happy. In her anger she threw them out the window, but during the night they sprouted... and what a growth spurt they had. Jack's beans grew into a beanstalk that reached up above the clouds.
Join Jack between Saturday 24th November, and Sunday 13th January to discover what he finds at the top. There will be shows at 2pm and 4pm, with tickets at £10, and concessions at £9.

Birthday Parties
