Rainbows

This September will be local children's entertainment business Rainbow’s 20th year of trading. The Company has entertained all over the UK with music, magic, puppets, singing, face-painting, disco and story telling. The Rainbows started with local talented ladies who had skills and the energy to keep a wide range of children amused, and have gone into full time employment in the theatre, television and education. The company was founded by Rainbow Bigbottom in 1988. Rainbow Bigbottom continues to perform to children all over the UK in theatre. The show now stars Mr Panda and his family, and follows their adventures with their magical bamboo.
Company Manager Kate Weber, announced a special theatre day to celebrate the company’s successful 20 years, at the Elgiva. Two shows will be on Saturday 27 September at 1 and 4pm. Called The Magical Bamboo it will feature Giant Pandas Mr Panda and his wife Penny. The Maggie Monk School of dancing will be joining the cast for a range of dance numbers. Rainbow Bigbottom and a host of novelty characters will add laughter, magic and pace. The Magical Bamboo is an ideal family show for children three years of age upwards. Kate said, “We will be having a large birthday cake in the foyer which all the children at the show will be given to take home with a lucky bag to mark this celebration". "We are now finding parents who were birthday children themselves, and have great memories and photos of Rainbow Bigbottom and the Rainbow Clownettes at their parties. "Our company has grown gradually over the years and theatre has now become our main activity. “Our shows are welcomed around the UK, and it is now a question of time until Mr Panda has his own children's television show." Tickets are on sale at the Elgiva call 01494 582900.
