Chicken Licken
NEW
This classic folktale is given the Sitara treatment, creating a highly interactive, hilarious show promoting independence, introducing 'stranger danger' and exploring ways to deal with anxiety.
When a nut falls on Chicken Licken's head, he believes the sky is falling in and the only thing to do is to let the king know. On his way he meets several delightful characters and the notorious Foxie Loxie! Packed full of songs, dances, incredible costumes and puppets by John Barber, UK Design Artist, this has already proved a hit with students and teachers alike!!

Beauty and the Beast
NEW
When a handsome prince makes fun of a hairy witch, she casts a spell on the prince and all who live in his castle. Only when someone agrees to marry the prince, will the the curse be lifted.
Meanwhile, Beauty's father loses all his ships and he must set off on a journey to see if any money can be saved. On his journey, a rose is taken and Beauty's life is changed forever. This interactive show explores whether we can judge a book by its cover. With puppets and masks by John Barber, UK design artist, animation, shadow puppetry and projection, Sitara weaves an unforgettable tale, packed full of interactive fun, music, dance and the Sitara sense of humour. Perfect for students exploring fairytales, adaptations or writing scripts, or even those who need to be exposed to live theatre.
