Kipper’s Snowy Day at
Midland Arts Centre

Presented by Slot Machine Theatre based on stories by Mick Inkpen

After dreaming about food, Kipper the dog awakes to discover a snowy landscape. Armed with his winter scarf he sets off for some fun; making snow angels and generally playing in the snow. He bumps into his friends including a fellow young dog called Tiger and Pig who is.. a pig and Pig’s brother Arnold. But soon Arnold gets lost in the snow.

Kipper is played by Olugbeminiyi Bammodu, with Lucy Varney playing Tiger and Arnold, Rounding off the team of performers is Nicola Blackwell as Pig. Having just three talented performers on stage allows the audience a chance to further focus on the characters.

The set itself is a giant notepad which looks also like a white snowy hill. Video images cover the rear wall, depicting snow and Kipper’s window.

Filled with fun original songs this 50-minute production Kipper’s Snowy Day is aimed at 3-9 year-olds and on the whole kept tonight’s audience engaged throughout. I could hear the murmuring voices of the audience asking questions to their parents and friends and generally getting excited.

A fun afternoon out for younger fans of Kipper and his friends. Kipper’s Snowy Day is at Midlands Arts Centre until 31st December. Book tickets here: macbirmingham.co.uk/event/slot-machine-theatre-kippers-snowy-day
