It’s been great working with Bradford Christian School at Guiseley Theatre this week to provide lighting and sound for Matilda!

It's over and out from the cast of Matilda! 👏👏👏

Well that's it for the very first event in the very first BISH BASH BOSH Children's Theatre Festival... 🎭
...and they SMASHED IT! 👊

The children of Bradford Christian School worked with our very own Jacob on their production of 'Matilda the Musical: Change My Story!' with the Royal Shakespeare Company and Matilda The Musical 🤩

It saw the staff and students working alongside movement directors, vocal coaches, directors and choreographers from the west end show to pull off an epic performance in our lovely Theatre!

So much energy, character, encouragement and teamwork. There was not a dry eye left in the house!

If you missed out, fear not! There is still the rest of May to enjoy some absolutely incredible Children's Theatre here in our venue! Check out the programme and book your tickets now at guiseleytheatre.org/boxoffice 🎟️

✨ Introducing: The Backstage Fairy God‑Technician ✨

Because sometimes even the best tech team needs a little… magic.

Big news from our workshop today! After months of top‑secret R&D (and one unfortunate glitter explosion), we’re thrilled to unveil our newest team member:

🧚‍♂️ The Backstage Fairy God‑Technician
Powered entirely by caffeine, chaos, and theatre magic.

What can they do?

• Instantly untangle cable spaghetti with a single tap of their wand
• Repair costumes using 100% biodegradable enchantments
• Conjure safety pins from thin air (limit: infinite)
• Grant three wishes per show — strictly for consumables
• Emit a small sparkle burst whenever someone says “five minutes”

Early feedback from the team:

“They fixed the entire props table before I even finished my tea.”
“I didn’t ask for glitter, but… fair.”
“They turned my missing wrench into a pumpkin. Mixed feelings.”

We’ll be rolling out Fairy‑Assisted Technical Support™ across all productions starting today.

✨ Happy April Fools’ Day! ✨
(Or is it…?)
