In the Forest of Ghuillie Dhu Gerry, the Forest Ranger, looks after seven special creatures: Red Squirrel, Pine Martin, Badger, Owl, Rabbit, Wood Pecker and Capercaillie plus a few extras.
These creatures present the facts and figures of why the care of woods has always been so important to us. In eight hilarious scenarios, the gang get stuck into the themes of environment, sustainability, climate change, recycling, forest management and much else.
Now running for more than 10 years, Forest Creatures keeps adapting to changing issues and maintains a strong sense of humour as well as purpose. There isn't a more engaging way to present topical issues for Treefolk.
Meet three skeletons, Big, Little and Dog as they go adventuring to find fun, frights and friendship. Spooky houses, dancing clocks, dinosaurs and skeleton pets all make an appearance as well as that darned Black Cat. Woof Woof.
The Puppet Lab has been inspired by the popular books of Janet and Allan Ahlberg, as well as the Mexican Day of the Dead celebrations, to find the funny side of bones. Kim Bergsagel's wonderful puppets burst with character and the set transforms into a multitude of spaces and places.
This is a wordless, wonderful show full of music, song and illustrated adventure, leading us through the crazy days of these delightful skeletons.

"Lost Sock Princess 'enthralls'!", Review by STV Local
The Frog Princess combines storytelling and puppetry in a show full of warmth and humour, for audiences aged 3 -7 years old and their families and friends.
The Russian tale tells of three brothers who are ordered by their father to find a bride. Each prince must shoot an arrow into the air, and marry whoever finds it. Perfect princesses return the arrows to the eldest two brothers. Unfortunately a frog finds the third brother's arrow.
Two superb puppeteers lead the audience through the trials and tribulations of the Frog in this all new version of a Puppet Lab classic.
