BACK FOR CHRISTMAS 2009

AFTER a break, we’re back! Join us at St Jude’s Church, Southsea, on Sunday 13th December to see our latest Christmas production. We’ll be investigating just how stupid those first-century shepherds who visited Jesus were. It’s the church’s Christmas carol service, which includes traditional carols, mince pies - and a chance to think about Jesus as the light of the world.

Our most recent full-length production was the Christmas family play Melchior’s Magical Mystery Quest by Nigel Forde.

It’s the story of three wise men, their not-so-wise servants, and a pretty dim camel Desmond (pictured below with Laura Newell as Melchior’s servant Kash-Kash) as they trek across Persia and Palestine in search of the baby who might help to solve the mysteries of the universe. This fun-filled family show was packed to the brim with songs, slapstick and something of the magic of the first Christmas.

Top Cat toured the show around churches in south-east Hampshire during December 2007.

A DVD of the play is now available. Click here to request one.
