EASTWOOD Park Theatre has a whole host of egg-cellent entertainment lined up this Easter, from puppet animation to pop-tastic shows plus a free teen drama workshop.

Celebrate the start of the school holidays in style with two shows from the Little Mix Experience, bringing the songs of the biggest girl band to Giffnock on March 29.

Eastwood Park is also proud to present part of this year’s hugely popular Puppet Animation Festival.

Join The Steadfast Tin Soldier on Sunday, March 25 for the tale of a one-legged soldier who falls in love with a paper dancer while The Wonderful World of Lapin show on Sunday, April 1 is narrated in English with puppets speaking simple French sentences.

Scottish Theatre Producers presents Grandad and Me on March 31, a show that focuses on loss, longing and the treasures of memory and imagination. An accompanying 90-minute workshop is also available the same day, with limited spaces.

A free taster teen drama workshop for 12-16-year-olds, hosted by tutor Corrie McKendrick from the Royal Conservatoire Scotland and Scottish Youth Theatre, will take central stage on the last day of the Easter break at the Carmichael Hall.

Corrie said: “I’m really excited that we are looking to engage a new group of young people with theatre in the East Renfrewshire area, as part of its Easter week activities.

“I think it’s really important that everyone has access to a creative outlet, whatever that may be, and drama offers so much. It can be fun or about making people laugh, it can be a way of telling stories or finding answers and it can also be a career path, a way to build confidence, make new friends or fill up spare time.

“I’d encourage any teenager who is interested to come along.”

Limited to 16 spaces, the teen drama taster class will take place on Friday, April 13 from 6-7.30pm and participants can then sign up for teen drama classes, starting on April 23 at Thorntree Hall in Thornliebank. The six-week teen drama term costs £43.20 or £21.60 concession. Book your taster class and reserve your space on the drama course now by calling 0141 577 4956.
