Family Variety Show: “Heroes and Villains”

We are getting closer to our summer variety show Heroes and Villains. There are performances at 1:30pm and 6pm on Saturday 12 July and at 2.30pm on Sunday 13 July. The show is suitable for the whole family and will include some songs all related to the heroes and villains, some known and some new ones!

It will be a real variety show, featuring songs, music, dancing and comedy, with a few surprises thrown in along the way. We have some short comedy sketches including Sherlock Holmes trying to solve his biggest mystery, and even an insight into the most ineffective bank robbery! There will be fun and laughter with Superheroes in 60 Seconds

The 1.30 show on Saturday 12 July will be a “relaxed performance”, aimed at those who might require a more relaxed environment. The show will be exactly the same but will involve the following adaptations:

• Music will be turned down.

• We will provide a small area to be used as a chill out space.

• A visual story will be made available before the show.

• The cast and crew will have an open attitude towards audience noise and movement.

We are performing in our Big Shed Theatre at Hare Leys Farm, Launton, Bicester OX26 5AB. Please bring a foldable chair or blanket to sit on. If you can’t manage this we have some spare chairs available. There is plenty of parking, and disabled parking is near the Theatre doors.

Doors will open 45 minutes before each show. Refreshments will be on offer before the show as well as in the interval, including prosecco, Pimms, beer, fruit juice, tea and coffee, as well as homemade cakes, and ice creams. We take cash and contactless card payments.

To book tickets go to www.ticketsource.co.uk/lvp. Tickets cost £12 for adults and £6 for children. (booking fee applies). You can also book refreshments but these will be available on the day too. If you are unable to buy online, call us on 07864 715708 for cash and cheque purchases.

As well as celebrating all kinds of heroes and villains we are also raising money for our own stage block fund, so there will be a raffle with some lovely hampers as prizes. We hope you will be able to support us and help raise funds for our new staging.
