You are cordially invited to the Royal Christmas Ball! The most extravagant event of the century is here at last, and the whole kingdom is invited – from the richest reveller to the humblest servant.

In a kingdom decked with holly and hope, Ella lives a quiet life of chores, often cleaning out the cinders from the fire. But when the invitation to the grandest event of the year arrives, Ella's step-mother won't let her go to the Ball and her dreams seem further away than ever – until a little Christmas magic shows up in her hour of need. But will the magic last? Will she get back home in time? What happens when the magic runs out?

“It was a pleasure to welcome the Saltmine team back…..the message is positive throughout and the Christian message explained clearly and succinctly, the audience loved joining in, especially the children. We made good connections with families who have a tentative or fringe connection with the church which is brilliant as part of our ongoing outreach”

Let me tell you the story of everything!
Like all angels before you will learn of the story, The best story of all filled with wonder and glory...

Full of music, hilarity and enchantment, the Angels are here with another heavenly year at Angelus High. Studies include flying, singing and most excitingly, THE STORY! But where is the story leading? Who are the real Heroes? What on earth has happened to the Tree of Life?

These questions (and more) will be answered in the halo-shining, beast-taming, tree-finding frolic that is the Rhyming Bible: Halos, Heroes and the Tree of Life!

“I thought the show was amazing! The idea of going into the Bible was excellent!”

"The children thoroughly enjoyed the performance which was extremely engaging and age-appropriate. The workshop was a good balance of discussion and movement. Thank you!”

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.

"It was performed brilliantly, had a brilliant encouraging message, and closing talk was short and perfect for the occasion. We had great feedback from those that came that it had been enjoyed very much. There were a good number of people we didn't know so it worked well as an outreach in our community."

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!
