There are some very special guests in the Tobacco Factory Theatre and Travelling Light’s Christmas production of Cinderella: A Fairytale: Ella’s friends, helpers and the only people she can rely on are the birds.

In preparation for the show (which opens in 2 weeks), we are going bird crazy and have a flock of multi-coloured feathery friends ready to take flight across Bristol to save Ella from her evil step mother and make sure she gets to the ball.  Can you help?

We are inviting groups of creative Tobacco Factory Theatre audiences to go ‘Bird Bombing’! Collect a pack of 20 Ella’s Birds and make the most imaginative, eye catching display you possibly can somewhere Prominent in the city. Hang them from trees, lampposts, fences, bike racks, buildings, arches, bridges or doorways.*  The more creative and prominent the better and the best display wins a hamper of goodies from Southville’s North Street’s independent shops. 

Once you have made your masterpiece, take a photo of all of the creators next to the display and email it to .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)  so we can see it and Ella can judge it.  All photos will be displayed on www.tobaccofactorytheatre.com and in the Theatre.

Pick up your flock of 20 birds from the Tobacco Factory Theatre Box Office, Raleigh Road, Southville, BS3 1TF and get bird bombing. All you need is a bit of thread and a wild imagination and a hamper of goodies could be all yours!
