live theatre for younger ones comes to Leiston Film Theatre this October half term, when children are invited to dive into a magical under the sea UV experience entitled H2Glo, in which a fish named Finn and a starfish named Twinkle take the audience on a glow-in-the-dark journey through the ocean in search of hidden treasure. The show, which runs for


45 minutes is packed full of colourful underwater creatures, set and a catchy pop soundtrack, as the two main characters learn valuable lessons about the ocean, the environment and even encounter the mysterious Creature of the Deep.


The adventure is sure to


capture the imagination of younger ones and is


suitable


for the entire family, with an opportunity to have their photograph taken with some of the characters at the end of the show.


H2Glo appears live at Leiston Film Theatre on Wednesday 23rd October, with separate performances at 11am and 2pm.
