CULTURE EDITION
Pop-up theatre for the family Taking place at The Atrium Theatre (Chesterton Community College) and Arbury Community Centre this month, Pop-Up Adventures comprises five fun-filled theatre events and workshops for families and children of all ages. Designed to bring Cambridge Arts Theatre to the local community while the facility is being redeveloped, the series starts at The Atrium Theatre with Splat! (ages 3-6) on 4 and 5 August, following two aspiring artists on a journey through the history of visual art, and How a Jellyfish Saved the World (ages 4-11) on 7 and 9 August, in which Clyde the jellyfish looks for a forever friend in a home that’s being polluted. The fun continues at Arbury Community Centre with The Imagination Train (ages 0-3) on 13 August, joining Connie the Conductor on a sensory journey; Miniature Travelling Circus (ages 3-6) on 14 August, with its beautiful puppets and magic tricks; and Puppets in Peril (ages 7-9) on 15 August, to save the fantastical Fire Isle from danger.
