Wardrobes 2023

Devised by KIT Theatre, Produced by ARCADE

Immersive theatre and workshop experience. Some time-travelling explorers from the past have accidentally ended up in Bridlington 2023 and it's down to the town’s school children to help them out.

About Wardrobes

This immersive theatre and workshop experience called on daring and adventurous 6+ year olds and their classmates, to help solve clues and welcome a time traveller from the past. Each class and their teacher worked with KIT Theatre and ARCADE across four weeks including a trip to Bridlington Spa, ongoing dialogue and communication with their time traveller, in school workshops and classroom activities. 


Designed to be delivered alongside other curriculum activities, the Wardrobes experience brings learning alive, children become the heroes of their own class adventure, solving problems, developing literacy, storytelling and performance skills.
