Magic Carpet Theatre

Great literature is for all ages – so is great theatre. We inspire children to read by bringing literature to life through our unique and fun readers theatre style. Live theatre provokes the imagination, a key ingredient to being a good reader. Children listen to our stories with their hearts, howl from their guts and participate creatively with their hands and minds. Perfect for school assemblies, family events, libraries and a wonderful way to celebrate the joy of reading!
