FREE ACTIVTIES FOR KIDS THIS SUMMER!

SCHOOLS OUT FOR SUMMER! 

Once again Manic Stage Productions have been invited by Portsmouth City Council and Town Centre Management to help entertain your children this summer. Throughout the school holidays in Commercial Road you will find FREE things for kids to do!

 Twice a week Manic will host a free activity combining arts and crafts with song and dance. These exciting activities and energetic routines are designed to give all you hard working parents a slight breather and some much needed time out when shopping this summer. 

Every Monday and Wednesday look out for our pop up gazebo which will be located in Portsmouth's Commercial Road Town Centre outside H&M on the high street! 

We say summer holiday but we all know that doesn't guarantee the sunshine so weather permitting come find us at this spot. In the case of rain we will have moved inside Cascades Shopping Centre opposite TK Maxx. 

Now into our 3rd week we are there again today 12-3pm with two of our lovely team members waiting and raring to go with a fun filled energetic three hours of cheerleading and other dance activities! 

Throughout the holidays there will be a different theme each Monday and Wednesday so come along as many times as you fancy and let your little ones build up a whole repetiore of steps and skills from our professional teachers. They will also be invited to make their own collection of crafts and not forgetting FREE face painting.

For the past few years our face painter has been a very popular addition to these events and we are sure this year will be no exception. So go on, take some time out and spend a little while with the Manic team. Let the children have fun while letting off some steam and top it all of with a fantastic face painting design all for FREE! 

On Fridays the area will be hosted by members of The New Theatre Royal who will be providing circus skills, acrobats and puppetry. 

Weather permitting the bungee trampolines will also be up every day throughout August! Each Friday we are happy to have our face painter also back on site.

As you can see from above your normal shopping trip this summer holiday doesn't need to be a boring chore for your little ones, promise them some fun and exciting workshops and we will be on hand to provide the entertainment!

SUMMER IS COMING!

HAVE YOUR KIDS GOT TALENT?

It's that time of year again, summer is only around the corner and we have the perfect activity to keep your children entertained and excited with three whole days of activities, fun and a live performance!

After last years success of our 'Kids Got Talent' 3 day workshop we have decided to run the same summer school activity this year to give even more children a chance to take part in this amazing opportunity. 

Manic Stage Productions we will be hosting 'Kids Got Talent' from Wednesday 5th - Friday 7th August 2015.

The idea of 'Kids Got Talent' is to encourage all the children to bring along their own talent to the Portsmouth's Guildhall and to practise and perfect it over the three days with the added assistance of our talented team. The aim is to make their individual skill show time ready for the on stage performance on the final day!

The children will also learn a whole host of new skills throughout the workshop days including dancing, singing, acting, arts and crafts, and lots lots more. 

The children will make new friends and be working in groups with new people to expand their repertoire of skills as the days pass.

One of the main attractions of this workshop event is the amazing opportunity to perform on the actual stage. We are lucky enough that the Friday performance showcase will be on the Guildhall stage, with lighting, sound and costumes! The children will be putting on a "proper" show of which family and friends are invited to come and see on the final afternoon. 

With the chance for the children to showcase each of their own talents and group numbers as a whole cast, the jam packed show will feature all types of entertainment for the parents viewing pleasure. 

After last years brilliant workshop we can not wait to see this years turn out..... so start practising those talents and book your places now so not to miss out this summer!! 

The cost of the three day workshop is £75 per child.
Each day will run from 10am-3pm at PortsmouthGuildhall

Dates are Wednesday 5th - Friday 7th August 2015.

Book your places now through Paypal on our event page via our website www.manicsp.co.uk 

We look forward to seeing you all in the summer!

What A Sizzling Summer We Had!

A LOOK BACK AT A WONDERFUL SUMMER

After an amazing but very hectic and busy summer we thought we should stop and have a little look back at everything we got up to...

Although it now seems so long ago we started our busy summer at the beginning of August with the Southsea Show. 

Manic hosted and produced the Seaside Special show that took place in the big top tent. With a host of speciality acts, singers, dancers and performers it was a huge hit and the acts performed to a packed out tent full of happy spectators as they watched on and enjoyed the entertainment that was on offer. 

Before the glitz and glamour of the showgirls in the evening show we took to the stage that afternoon to entertain and bring some magic to the event with our Disney inspired children's show. With performances and songs from all your children's favourite sing-a-long films and soundtracks their faces lit up as princesses, animals and all sorts of characters appeared in the spot light to spread a magical feel throughout the big top. 

Lets not forget that also at the Southsea Show Manic hosted our very own 'Frozen' inspired tent which we named 'The Elsa and Anna Experience'. 

With ticketed workshops every hour on both the Saturday and Sunday crowds flocked to pack out our sold out event which gave the children an amazing opportunity to meet our look a like Elsa and Anna charatacters. Along with meeting the girls the children and their parents were able to take part in so many activities including singing and dancing with the characters, a sweetie pick and mix kingdom, Olaf arts and crafts and a very special green screen photobooth that transported you all the way to Arundel itself. 

We had so many happy customers and as they left with their gifts and wish balloons we couldn't have asked for a better turn out. 

The experience worked so well that we will be bringing it back around Christmas time so keep an eye out for more info about this on our website and facebook page. 

No summer or school holiday would be complete without our sort after dance days and workshops! Following on from the Southsea Show we entered into 2 weeks of Manic's Summer School. With more 'Frozen' and 'One Direction' days our excited children turned up each day at Portsmouth Guildhall excited and ready to go for a full day of fun, themed to their favourite stars, films, songs and characters. 

Brand new this year was the launch of our 3 day 'Kid's Got Talent' talent club.

We had a great response and the children that took part really proved how talented and clever they were. 

Over the three days the children learnt a variety of skills including singing, dancing and various drama skills. They then bought along their own talent to perform and we had a brilliant array that all featured in our big show on the final day. 

The talents included: Majorettes, Recorder, Tap Dancing, Duets, Girlband Singing, Modern Dance and Ballet Solo's and Cheerleading. 

Our final show took place on the actual Portsmouth Guildhall stage with a full audience of family and friends. Each child took to the stage with huge smiles, bags of confidence and a super star attitude! For some this was their very first time on stage. They put on an amazing show and we were so proud of what they had learnt and produced over just 3 days. We look forward to next years talent club and would love to know what talents your children may have?

COMING SOON
