THE
BIG SNEEZE is a hilarious, yet poignant
play about the grade school trials of Lizzy, the
tallest girl in her school. Being different is
hard and Lizzy’s only wish is to be invisible to
her classmates – stay beneath the radar. It
almost works until one day she has the loudest,
most gigantic sneeze EVER and out pops (in human
form) her very own sneeze and Lizzy’s life
changes forever. Dealing with issues of
self-esteem and peer relationships,
THE BIG
SNEEZE takes audiences on a journey of
self-discovery and acceptance.
Currently in
development,
THE BIG
SNEEZE will be available for touring in the
2010-2011 season. Please enquire about touring

KING ARTHUR’S KITCHEN by Leslie Mildiner is
sold out for the 2009-2010 season. We are currently
accepting bookings for the national tour during our
2010-2011 season.
Down in the underbelly of King Arthur’s castle, behind the skillets, behind the salad bowl, behind the cauldron, the stories of Arthur’s adventures and how he became king are revealed – or are they? Knights, damsels in distress, great feats of dare deviling and heroics AND a knife that just won’t come out of the birthday cake. All play a part in a smorgasbord of wildly imaginative tales. A fast paced 50 minutes, KING ARTHUR’S KITCHEN is as colourful as it is comic. Available for elementary schools, children's festivals and community theatres.
