WIND Song Theatre have brought their fun-filled family show Pip’s Post Room to the Winchester Discovery Centre until Christmas Eve.
Every year children write to Santa wishing for their hopes and dreams to come true in the form of their perfect gift. This wonderful tradition sparked the story line for the show which follows Pip the Penguin who is in charge of Santa’s Post Room.
The play is brought to life with an original score, imaginative story-telling and two energetic actors portraying Pip and his trusty assistant Esme the squirrel. The play is set in the North Pole where Pip is in charge of The Hopes and Dreams Department. Pip is Santa’s chief helper who reads all of the children’s letters to make sure he knows who wants what. Whilst going about their normal day Esme soon realises that Pip has a secret dream of his own. He wants to fly but knows that he can’t because he’s a penguin. Reading the letters, Pip and Esme delve deep into their imaginations and go on wild adventures.
The perfect story of friendship brings the Christmas message to life to show children that, if you believe in yourself, then anything (even the unimaginable) is possible.
Co-founders Lily Streames and Rebecca Ward met three years ago when they toured the UK with a family theatre show. Working with an exciting team of creatives, this Christmas they return to the Winchester Discovery Centre for the second year running with the debut of Pip’s Post Room.
