Now Playing!
Molly knows everything about space. All the planets and their moons; even the number of Saturn's rings. EVERYTHING!
Molly is definitely, absolutely going to be an astronaut when she grows up.
But when, one wintry night, Molly meets a visitor from outer space she realises she still has a lot to learn about looking after our very own planet, Earth.
"Zoom!" is a new play for children aged 3-8 years with music, songs and puppetry. A gentle introduction for young children into ways they can help to protect their environment.
Pied Piper Theatre Company is thrilled to announce that we are to receive £36,500 from the second round of the Government’s Culture Recovery Fund.
This award will help us continue our commitment to creating exciting and engaging theatre for children and babies; and to explore a wider and more diverse audience.
We believe our audience deserve to feel included in the story. Through engaging with relatable characters and their dilemmas our young audience can creatively try out solving real-world concerns in a safe space; more important now than ever as they try to process the impact of the pandemic.
We are grateful to Arts Council South East for their vital and ongoing support.
Julie Walters, Patron of Pied Piper Theatre Company:
"As Patron of The Pied Piper Theatre Company, I’m delighted to hear that the company are being supported by the Arts Council’s Culture Recovery Fund. It’s tremendous that the value of their work for young children is recognised."
Tina Williams, Artistic Director:
"This is wonderful news for Pied Piper! The Culture Recovery Fund will enable us to continue with our tour which was cancelled overnight when the third lockdown came in January.
We’re all set to start again over the month of May with thirty four performances in schools and seven in theatres!"

Our education packs for ‘Zoom!’ are ready for you to download for preparation and follow up. Keep looking on our website for an audio story and photos of the play which will be added later.
We’ve created 2 education packs to enable teachers to use the story as a context for different areas of learning.
The first pack is designed to extend the children’s live theatre experience into subject areas across the curriculum including Maths, Geography, Science, History, PSHE and Art & Design.
Our second early years pack is specifically designed for younger children and meets the Areas of Learning across the Early Years Foundation Stages.
You can find both available to download in .pdf format in Teacher Resources here.
Have fun!
