about the production
Glow is a charming, interactive, family show about mental health, wellbeing and friendship tailored to ages 3 - 7. We meet Gwen the glow worm and her bug besties as they prepare for the glow festival. Gwen is the head glower, but oh no, Gwen has lost her glow and doesn’t know why! Gwen and her bug-besties try to ‘fix’ her glow in time for the glow festival, but actually learn that when we’re in the darkest of places, it’s our friends that can help turn on the lights. The show has integrated access for visually impaired audiences and venues

The show tours with festoon lighting, which requires a connection over 15A to your house dimmers, and any adapters to get to this.
Glow has stereo audio playback, which tours on QLab on a Mac.
If you have a Mac in the venue already, we may bundle the workspace and move to your machine, if not, we will require a 3.5mm jack at the control position
3-8 year olds and their families
Glow is a wonderful experience for first time theatre go-ers and a great introduction to the magic of live performance.
It was very accessible, pitched at jsut the correct age. It was lovely and interactive and I didnt need to feel like my wriggly child was putting the actors off, they are clearly used to it.
The message, costumes, scenery and music all fit so well and really captivated my 5 year olds attention. With such a great message and wonderful ways for children to cope with mental health struggles for themselves.
Integrated access for visually impaired audiences. Some Makaton used throughout.
Bugtastic wellness workshops
