Tuesday 25th June 2024 @ 7.45pm
Tuesday 2nd July 2024 @ 7.45pm
Step Into History is a part show, part walking tour, and part immersive experience production suitable for the whole family to enjoy.
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.)
LOCATION: Meet at the edge of Sefton Park, near the ZEBRA CROSSING opposite LARK LANE.
ON ARRIVAL: Please arrive at the location and have your tickets ready to show on either a mobile device or printed. Your TOUR GUIDES will move you onto the first show location at precisely 7.45pm.
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).

The Show With No Name
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.
The Show With No Name... the show where the kids are in charge, and anything could happen!

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?
