That is a quotation from Frank Baum, the writer of the wonderful Wizard of Oz…. and this fabulous show for all the family is just one of the productions that Titchfield Festival Theatre is bringing you next year, as we announce the publication of our 2021 brochure.

In spite of the pandemic and restrictions, the TFT team have come together to present you with a full year of shows. There are exciting new productions from talented playwrights including An Evening with Rosie, Him & Me: The Tracy and Hepburn story and Lost + Found; classic comedy with the Lavender Hill Mob; popular favourites such as An Inspector Calls; the heart-warming Pollyanna; plus the exciting musical production with an 80s twist, Kiss Me, Kate. 

A TFT season is not complete however without our annual Shakespeare summer festival, The Bard at the Barn. The 2021 summer plays at the historic Great Barn are The Taming of the Shrew, A Midsummer’s Nights Dream, The Comedy of Errors and Winter’s Tale.

The Titchfield Youth Theatre (TYT) promises some great shows too, with short plays and specially written productions including a rewriting of the classic love story, Romeo and Juliet on the Run. Finally, next spring sees the start of our brand-new children’s theatre for youngsters aged 3+, promising interactive shows of popular stories with songs, dancing and theatre skills for all the family. 

Kevin Fraser, Artistic Director Titchfield Festival Theatre said, “With major funding to ensure that our venues are all Covid secure we are set to welcome you to a wonderful year of live theatre. 2020 has been a year unlike all others for all of us; and who knows what 2021 brings. However, nothing deters us at TFT! I am proud to have an amazing team around me, directors, cast members, backstage and other volunteers… all of whom share our passion for great acting and superb theatre. 

“I promise you plenty of laughs, foot-tapping music, excellent drama… and more besides. We are also firm believers in encouraging young talent, so I am especially excited by the launch of our new children’s theatre and our growing and dynamic Titchfield Youth Theatre. We look forward to welcoming you back – or online, with our live streaming productions.”
