Ruffle your feathers and get designing, get scribbling, get painting, get drawing as the Torch Theatre, Milford Haven invites you to create your very own owl mobile to fly in the theatre’s foyer as it welcomes the delightful and enchanting tale – Owl at Home.

In a competition to win a family ticket to see this wonderful production by Theatr Iolo, the Torch Theatre would like audiences to create their very own owl to coincide with the show.

The children’s theatre company based in Cardiff, is set to delight young audiences with its new show based on the 1975 children’s book, Owl at Home, by Arnold Lobel. The autumnal tale for children aged 5 to 11 is about an owl who lives on his own, but finds fun and friendship amongst the solitude.

Although the original story is over 45 years old, this new version of the classic tale is set to be more relevant than ever, as the story explores and reflects upon what it’s like to spend lots of time by yourself; something children are more than familiar with due to the pandemic.

“We know that some children found the isolation of the pandemic really difficult, but for others they absolutely loved being at home. And course for many, their experience was a mixture of the two!” explained Lee Lyford, Theatr Iolo’s Artistic Director.

“This show gives children and families an opportunity to reflect on their own experiences and hopefully to remember the positives of spending time at home.”

Owl at Home is a thoughtful and funny show about an Owl who lives alone in a cosy little home in the woods. With no one to talk to, Owl sings to himself and looks for ways to pass the time.

He wonders about things a lot, but sometimes his imagination runs away with him and ordinary objects begin to take on a life of their own!

Amongst the chaos, Owl finds an unexpected friend who’s willing to follow him to the ends of the earth... whether he likes it or not! An enchanting tale with music, Owl at Home shows us how friendship can be found in the most unlikely of places.

So, swoop your entries in for this wonderful family show by brining your Owls to the Torch Theatre by Thursday, October 20 to be in with a chance of winning a family ticket for four. Remember to include your name, email address and phone number of parent/guardian.
