What is it?
The Fairy Godmother has been running Rainbow Land for a long time. Over the years, she’s brought lots of unhappy people to be in her happy happy place and it’s just magical.
She’s just brought a new person to her realm, Acer, who’s a curious dreamer. Unfortunately his twin Ashlynn followed and she is not under the spell of the Fairy Godmother. Watch them navigate their relationship in this weird and wonderful world, meeting people that are just happy as Larry.
Expect lollipops, pinatas and rainbow chickens!
This is ‘Welcome to Rainbow Land’, Strike a Light Youth Theatre’s original performance exploring childhood, growing up and managing emotions.
Join these fantastical characters on a journey to the end of Rainbow Land.
An ensemble piece devised and performed by Strike A Light’s Youth Theatre.
