THE HOSTAGE.jpg

The Hostage

Performed by our Acting on Location class

@ All Hallows church hall

Sunday 8th December 2024 @ 7pm

 

The Hostage is an original, immersive play written by Dayna Swinburne for our Acting on Location cast and performed live on stage inside a pitch-black theatre.

 

As the clock strikes seven, the lights inside the storage room at 22 Nettleton Way will go out forever - for our audience, and most importantly for Bruno, an aging and out-of-work game show host trapped inside a claustrophobic locked room with no where but his vivid imagination to escape to.

 

Meet Dolly, the caring elderly lady helping to guide Bruno towards the light, his frantic friends and beloved family in search of peace, as well as kind strangers in search of justice.

In typical Theatre on Foot fashion, this isn't your regular stage production. Audiences will have their senses awakened as they sit in darkness for the duration of our story, allowing their imaginations to run wild in a disorientated state - until the lights flicker back into action and our emotional rollercoaster is complete.

"Hello...? Is somebody there..? I'm trapped, can you hear me...?"

SHOW TIME: 7pm (lasting approx. 1 hour)

TICKET PRICE: £10 (adults, kids, OAPs, students, etc.)

LOCATION: All Hallows Church Hall, Allerton, Liverpool, L18 6JJ (Show is in the CHURCH HALL, not the main church)

ON ARRIVAL: Please arrive at the church hall's front main entrance and have your tickets ready to show on either a mobile device or printed. Doors will open approx. 20 minutes before the performance begins (approx. 6.40pm). There are toilets in the foyer.

ARE YOUNG CHILDREN ALLOWED?: This production is going to be very dark (except some torchlights) and we are telling unsettling stories kidnapping. Parents/guardians are advised to bring younger children along at their own discretion. But this is a show told by teenagers, so the details are not overly gruesome!

WHAT TO WEAR: Please wear warmer clothes.

Mwhahaha!

Performed by our Juniors

@ Lark Lane Community Centre

Tuesday 10th December 2024 @ 7pm & 8pm
 

Mwhahaha! is an original immersive promenade play written by Kane Murray and performed by Theatre on Foot's youngest actors - the crazy Juniors!

Mwhahaha! is designed to be the Juniors' first foray into the world of HORROR! So, expect this walk-about production to be a tiny bit scary (yes, the lights will be dimmed at times) but mainly very funny, and very, very silly.

Told in the style of a Hollywood studios tour (like the one at Warner Bros, L.A), audiences will be guided from soundstage to soundstage to watch movie stars rehearse for their big scenes in our fictional movie Mwhahaha!

Meet the dare-devil stunt performers, the terrifying medieval surgeons, the cool cops & rubbish robbers, and the scariest Granny in the universe for an unsettling - but highly educational - evening full of guts, gore and ghouls!

 

For many of the kids taking part this is their first introduction to the wonderful world of performing, and we're really excited to present them with a sea of happy smiling faces to show off in front of.

SHOW TIME: Tuesday 10th December 2024 @ 7pm & 8pm (lasting approx. 30 minutes )

TICKET PRICE: £5 + web ticket manager booking fee (adults, kids, OAPs, students, low waged, etc.)

LOCATION: Lark Lane Community Centre, Aigburth, Liverpool

 

ON ARRIVAL: Please arrive at the community centre and have your tickets ready to show on either a mobile device or printed. Doors will open 10 minutes before both performances begin (so, 6.40pm & 7.50pm). If you need the toilet, please use the one in reception in good time. Pushchairs can be stored in the reception at your own risk.

During our original comical-yet-rather-gruesome immersive performance, audiences (playing the role of scientists) will get up close & personal to unsavory characters from Victorian and Georgian Liverpool as we hear their unique stories and try to get to the bottom of how they've time traveled to 2024.

 

Meet the Judge (who prefers to humiliate criminals rather than punish them with jail time), the Black Widow Ladies (who enjoy killing off their husbands with arsenic), the Body Snatchers (who will pay a hefty price for every dead body brought to them), and the scientist-turned-medium Psychic Stu (who's responsible for bringing these historical characters back to life).

In typical Theatre on Foot fashion, this isn't your regular production. Audiences will move alongside the action throughout Liverpool's most cherished park - Sefton Park.

"Scientists, follow me if you'd like to hear stories of MURDER, GREED, WAR and... architecture."

SHOW TIMES: Both shows start @ 7.45pm (lasting approx. 45 minutes each)

TICKET PRICE: £4 (adults, kids, OAPs, students, etc.)

ARE YOUNG CHILDREN ALLOWED?: Yes, although we are telling unsettling stories of murder.Parents/guardians are advised to bring younger children along at their own discretion. But this is a show performed by teenagers, so the details are not overly gruesome!

ARE DOGS ALLOWED?: Yes, but please keep them on a leash and away from the actors.

WHAT TO WEAR: Appropriate clothes for the weather (this show is all outside) and sturdy shoes you can stand for long periods in (there are no seats and there may be mud).

Performed by our Juniors

THIS SHOW IS NOW FINISHED AND WAS PERFORMED ON:

Thursday 30th November @ 7.30pm
 

The Show With No Name will eventually have a name. But as it's down to our awesome Junior actors to decide on a title next term - along with other key show elements (what costumes we should wear, what scripts we should perform, and what should be on the poster, etc.) - audiences will have to wait a little longer, we're afraid.

 

What we can tell you now though, is that WE CANNOT WAIT TO PERFORM FOR YOU!!! The Show With No Name is a relaxed sharing of what our youngest actors (aged 6-11) at Theatre on Foot get up to on a weekly basis. There'll be drama games galore, scripted show backs, improvisations, competitions, awards, & screaming... lots and lots of screaming (wearing ear plugs is advised).

 

For many of the kids taking part this is their first introduction to the wonderful world of performing, and we're really excited to present them with a sea of happy smiling faces to show off in front of.

Friday 16th June 2023 @ 7.45pm

 

The Pancake Day Disaster Show is Theatre on Foot's latest production, performed by our wonderful cast of adults. This time, however, we haven't a clue what we're going to perform for you. We've had zero rehearsals, haven't seen a script in months, and quite frankly, we're feeling terribly unprepared. But that's how you're meant to feel in the run up to a FULLY IMPROVISED SHOW, right?

Come and watch our talented cast sweat, as directors Kane & Dayna put them through their paces in a series of games, tasks, and challenges for your viewing pleasure. Think TV shows Whose Line Is It, Anyway?, Taskmaster, and Would I Lie To You? for a rough idea of what to expect. There'll be lots of laughs, gasps, a bit of terror, and everything in between - perfect for a Friday night of entertainment.

The Wedding Heist, Theatre on Foot's latest production, is a crime comedy caper performed by our Tweens and Seniors groups.

The wedding of the year is finally upon us, but not everyone is thrilled to be in attendance. The bride's family are far too posh to socialise with the groom's family, and the groom's family can't understand why everyone is unhappy to have Colin the Caterpillar as the official wedding cake. The venue staff can't wait to put their shift from hell behind them, and the happy couple are nowhere to be seen!

And then enter the thieves. A ragtag group of misfits with their eyes on the jewellery store, the shop next to The White Lion pub; the venue of the wedding party. But will they manage to break in without being seen, or will the wedding party stop squabbling for two seconds to spot there's a heist taking place right under their noses?
