From page to stage – all in just one day!
Bigfoot’s Play in a Day programme gives children the unique opportunity to work with a professional Bigfoot Arts educator to devise, rehearse, and perform their very own play in just one school day.
Across up to four interactive workshops, classes will dive into a chosen story, exploring its themes through warm-up games, improvisation, and creative exercises. Each group will bring to life either the beginning, middle, or end of the tale, before joining together at the end of the day for a full performance, stitched seamlessly together by their Bigfoot Educator.
This exciting programme helps children to:
- Discover the magic of devised theatre.
- Work as part of a large ensemble.
- Explore stories through imagination and improvisation.
- Build confidence by realising their ideas are valuable.
- Enjoy the thrill of bringing stories to life.
Every play is enhanced with a colourful kit bag of props, costume pieces, and instruments to spark imagination and elevate the performance. (Please note: bespoke productions may require additional budget for specific props or costumes.)

- The Iron Man (Years 4–6)
