Jack and the Beanstalk
Message: Don't Fear Gods HereJoin Jack as he adventures through this exciting retelling of a classic fairytale, which reminds us about where true strength is found to overcome our fears.
This story starts, like all others do, with 'Once upon a time'. Somewhere out in the great wide world, a world that has memories of fairytales, there is a town. This town has hopes and dreams, worries and fears and a boy called Jack. We join him hustling and bustling through the day to day, until...
Fee-fi-fo-fum!
...Giants. Giants are coming. And with that, those fairytales become a lot more real. Rumours start circulating. Panic starts spreading. Can Jack and his friends overcome their fears in time? Will they defeat the Giant and save the day?
Come and clamber up the beanstalk with Jack this Christmas. Saltmine Theatre Company's reimagining of this classic story reminds us that we never have to face our fears alone - there is always someone bigger who has already overcome.

Message: You BelongJoin us off the beaten track for a modern-day twist on this classic tale, as we come face to face with the big bad wolf and find out what it really means to belong.
On the longest night of the year, Ruby's village is preparing for winter's most extravagant event – welcoming the 'Light' at the Christmas Party. However when local hero Austin crashes in to report a dangerous wolf on the loose, the celebration is thrown into jeopardy. Feared to be set on ruining festivities, the wolf is rumoured to threaten the very future of the town.
Guided by her sense of adventure – and a mysterious summons – it is down to Ruby to journey into the heart of the forest and discover the truth behind the stories. Who can she trust in this deep, dark wood?

A Christmas Carol
Message: What Can I Give?Join Saltmine Theatre Company’s rediscovery of Charles Dickens’ classic tale; a festive, supernatural spectacular which appeals us to “honour Christmas in our hearts, and keep it all the year round”.
Bah Humbug!
Ebenezer Scrooge is the meanest, cruellest, stingiest man in London. As everyone around him is caught up with the usual festivities of sharing good cheer, Scrooge will spend his Christmas counting his piles of money until it’s all blown over. He won’t join any parties, he won’t be singing carols, and he certainly won’t give his ‘hard done by’ clerk; Bob Cratchit, the day off.
But this year, four mysterious visitors have other ideas. Confronting Scrooge with his own story, will these other-worldly guests melt his icy heart? Is there room in his life for community and generosity? Or is it too late for Ebenezer Scrooge to ever change?

Saltmine Theatre Company presents
Bob Hartman’s Rhyming Bible
Adapted from legendary storyteller Bob Hartman’s highly acclaimed Rhyming Bible, this magnificent all-age musical will take you from the creation of the earth to its glorious redemption.
Let me tell you the story of everything!
Yes! Roll up! Roll up! For the most heavenly show of the year!
In the company of two friendly Angels, you (the audience) will be enrolled as first year students at:
Angelus High
“Kind wings, humble halos”
As first year Angels you will, of course, learn to sing (angelically), fly (magnificently) and most of all you will learn THE STORY! How did it all begin? What does it all mean? And just what is the mysterious Professor Mortarian up to?
These questions (and more) will be answered in the toe-tapping, side-splitting, roof-raising extravaganza that is the Rhyming Bible!
If you would like to enquire to book a show or explore hosting a tour in your area, please enquire today.
