STORYTELLING CLUB
As you can see from our updates below we are very busy at Powerhouse with two shows - 'Pretty Ugly' and 'The Mouse, The Hat and the Missing Cat'. Because of this, Digby the Bookworm has decided to take a little holiday during the month of February and also on the 19th March. So, there will be NO storytelling on these dates. But we do hope that you will come and see our new 'Mouse' show on 14th February. The last session will be on 30th January and resume on 5th March.

Welcome to Powerhouse 2012
Already we are hugely busy with lots of exciting projects to welcome in the new year... take a look below to see what we are up to and hopefully we will see you at one of our shows soon!
The Mouse, The Hat and The Missing Cat
For those of you who loved The Mouse In Santa's House you will be excited to learn that Tip the Mouse is returning to the Electric Theatre in a brand new adventure! Written especially for the Electric Theatre's Family Festival this new story is as full of fun as the last - full of songs, laughs and a mystery to solve. Join Tolly, Tip and Claude for one day only on 14th February at 1.30pm and 4pm. Hope to see you there!
Pretty ugly
Our award winning portrayal of Katie Metcalfe's story is back. Based on her book 'Anorexia - A Stranger In The Family', the play deals deftly with this difficult subject using a sensitive mix of pace, humour and multi media. We believe that theatre can make a huge difference to our experience of the world and this play has the capacity to literally change people's lives as the letters that were written to us after its premiere testify. This inspiring story of recovery is touring to venues in the South East and is suitable for everyone over age 12.
See it at:
- Electric Theatre 27th February 7.30pm
- Electric Theatre 28th February 10am & 1pm
- Cranleigh Arts Centre 1st March 10.30am

Guildford Action Spike Project
We are now in the middle of the third leg of our project with Guildford Action and this time it is more challenging and exciting than ever! We are creating a site specific piece of interactive theatre devised with people from the Guildford Action Day Centre which will be performed at The Spike in Guildford - the only remaining building from the town's Victorian workhouse. Using their personal stories and those from times gone by we are hoping to weave together an unforgettable personal journey that spans 100 years asking the question - have things changed for homeless people that much? This project will be performed mid February to an invited audience.
