Our Next Adventure – Danny the Champion of the World!
Following the success of All Rise For Halloween, we're already busy preparing for our next exciting adventure, and this time we're heading into the wonderful world of Roald Dahl!
Far Far Away Theatre is delighted to be bringing Danny the Champion of the World to the stage at Rotherham Civic Theatre from 3rd–7th April 2027.
Join us for this heartwarming and adventurous story about a young boy, his dad and the extraordinary adventures that bring them closer together. Filled with mischief, magic, laughter and plenty of surprises, it's a wonderful tale of friendship, family and the special bond between a father and son.
But before we can bring this fantastic story to life, we need to find some talented young performers to join our cast!
We're looking for our Danny!
We are searching for a talented young actor aged 11+ to take on the leading role of Danny. This is a fantastic opportunity for a young performer to take centre stage and bring one of Roald Dahl's much-loved characters to life.
We're also looking for our juvenile ensemble!
We love involving young people in our productions and giving them the opportunity to develop their performance skills, build confidence, make friends and experience the excitement of performing in a professional theatre setting.
We're looking for enthusiastic young performers aged 12+ to join our ensemble and become part of this wonderful production.
Whether you're an experienced performer or simply have a passion for acting and being on stage, we'd love to hear from you!
At Far Far Away Theatre, we believe in creating opportunities for young people to shine, learn and be part of something special.
Could you be our Danny? Could you be part of our next adventure?
Audition information is available now by emailing farfarawaytheatre@gmail.com.
We can't wait to meet our new cast and start bringing this magical adventure to life!

All Rise For Halloween – What a Spooktacular Success!
What an incredible time we’ve had bringing All Rise For Halloween – A Spooky Kooky Courtroom Musical to life at The Montgomery, Sheffield!
From the moment the courtroom doors opened, our audiences were transported into a world of spooky surprises, hilarious characters, catchy songs and plenty of Halloween mischief!
We couldn't be prouder of the fantastic cast who brought this show to life. Every character was an absolute delight, with brilliant performances, wonderful personalities and plenty of laughs along the way. From the courtroom drama to the wonderfully wacky characters, they certainly kept our audiences entertained!
And what a visual feast it was! Our graveyard courtroom set created the perfect spooky setting, while the costumes helped bring every character to life. So much time, creativity and hard work went into every little detail, and seeing it all come together on stage was incredibly rewarding.
Of course, we couldn't have a courtroom without evidence! One of the special touches that made this production so much fun was giving every audience member their very own evidence bag, allowing them to become part of the action and join in with the courtroom fun. We love creating theatre that is more than just something to sit and watch – we want our audiences to feel part of the experience!
A huge thank you to everyone who came along, joined in, dressed up, laughed with us and helped make this production so special. To our wonderful cast, juvenile performers, backstage team, helpers and everyone who worked tirelessly behind the scenes, thank you. Productions like this really are a team effort.
At Far Far Away Theatre, we love creating original, imaginative productions that bring families together and give young performers the opportunity to shine. All Rise For Halloween was everything we hoped it would be and more!
The courtroom may be closed, the evidence bags packed away and the ghosts sent home, but the memories will stay with us for a long time!
Thank you for being part of the magic. Until our next adventure…

A Christmas Cracker!
The Elves and the Shoemaker began as a leap of faith. Writing and composing and producing our very own musical felt exciting—but also a little scary. Taking that risk meant trusting our creativity and our love for the arts. What followed exceeded anything we could have imagined. The response was overwhelming, the joy was contagious, and the final production was bigger and better than we ever dreamed. This show didn’t just succeed—it reminded us why taking creative risks is always worth it.
We loved it so much that we are even in talks about writing The Elves And The Shoemaker - Part Two! Now that's exciting!
