Too Many Penguins?
How many penguins are too many penguins?
Mr Polaro thinks that one is MORE than enough, thank you very much.
Penguina wants someone to play with.
Just one friend, or two, or maybe quite a few...
How many penguins can we get in one space? Squeeze into this fun theatrical experience, to find out. It might get crowded, but we promise the arrival of the penguins, however many, will entertain and delight. Created especially for 1 - 6 year olds and their families.​
​
We're delighted that Too Many Penguins? was able to tour North of Scotland in December 2024, welcoming over 1600 children and thier families to shows at ​Lyth Arts Centre, Lossiemouth Town Hall, and ​Eden Court Theatre.​​​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​
​​​​​
Hand making over 100 penguins was completely worth it! Too Many Penguins? won the 'Critics' Award Theatre Scotland (CATS) for Best Production for Children and Young People in 2012 and has since toured extensively throughout the UK and Internationally.
