Disenchanted Postponed
Following the announcement made by the Prime Minister yesterday regarding social contact, including theatres, it is with a heavy heart that we have to inform everyone that Kidz R Us and St Ives Theatre has suspended rehearsals and performances with immediate effect.
Our members, volunteers and patrons are our most valuable asset and we must ensure the safety of our communities in these unprecedented times. We acknowledge the time, hard work and effort all our volunteers and members put into productions at Kidz R Us and the inevitable disappointment for them and audiences alike.
We are keeping our fingers crossed with the hope that restrictions will be lifted to allow the remainder of our spring and summer theatre programme to continue.
Please be assured that we are constantly monitoring developments and will keep you updated with progress. In the meantime, keep safe. We look forward to opening our doors and giving you a warm welcome again in the not too distant future.
Kind Regards
Phil Barnett
Chairman of Trustees

Testimonials
WOW We thought we were seeing a professional show the quality of this performance was outstanding the costumes were beautiful and the whole theatre experience was magical. The snow queen was the most beautiful character I have ever seen and boy could she sing. The Granny had us in stitches all evening our sides ache today, the whole performance was worthy of a professional stage we loved it and will be back next year. Well done
AUDIENCE MEMBER, SNOW QUEEN (DECEMBER 2018)
I’ve been visiting Kidz for over 20 years, ever since I was a young child – I can’t explain how incredible the performances are every time! I have never been to a bad performance – the talent of every child on stage is evident from the opening note, and it’s fantastic to see the performers grow every year.
We saw the Snow Queen last night, and you could tell the entire audience had a fantastic time, from ages 2 to 92!
A trip to St Ives isn’t complete without going to Kidz R Us.
