Get ready for the teddy!
Prepare for the bear!
Clare and Cory are coming your way -
with a glorious story to share!

Stay tuned for news of where we’ll be performing CLARE & CORY SHARE A (GLORIOUS) STORY this year - a show for ages 3+, packed with puppets and riddled with rhymes!

WHERE’S THE CLASS BEAR?
Let us explain:
Jane shares her train (batteries not included)
Anmol shares his doll (wonky leg; mended several times)
Michael shares his cycle (a trusty three-wheeler)
Willow and Joe both have a go with a yo-yo
BUT
Clare NEVER EVER shares her pear
Until she loses the class bear (uh-oh)
Enter Cory
Can he save the day with a story?

Get in touch if you’d like to help us find the bear in YOUR primary school, theatre, arts centre, or any other community space - including lit fests, as we have an accompanying picture book! Also perfect for and to celebrate 2026’s !

For ages 3+

“Thank you so much for the most creative, wholesome show – we absolutely loved it. One of the best pieces of children’s theatre we’ve ever seen – what a joy!”
Family, Kenneth More Theatre

“Finn’s first theatre show. He LOVED coming up to help, and was bouncing and grinning the whole time”
Finn, age 3, and Louise, godmother, Lyric Hammersmith

“It was so engaging that my little one remained focused for the whole play, even at such a young age. Thank you for making her very first visit to a theatre so special!”
Mum, Courtyard Arts Centre

“Your show was mind-blowingly amazing! All the places you created felt so real. I hope you know how special it will have been for all the spellbound children who got to see it – they were captivated from start to finish. Everyone was absolutely buzzing afterwards and we can’t wait to invite Joe and Willow back again”
Linton Children’s Book Festival

“Excellent – great fun and the grandchildren loved it. They couldn’t wait to buy the book”
Family, Brentwood Theatre

As ever, we wanted to say a really big thank you for all the love and support we’ve had this year - it’s been a tricky one with funding so hard to find. But we are so proud to have premiered our show COMFORT in 2025, created to help support grieving families. And to have turned eleven! Lots to look forward to in 2026… HAPPY NEW YEAR! Love Joe and Willow and our really big pants xx

We’ve finished the Starlight Children's Foundation festive tour on a real high, thanks to these fabulous ladies at Basildon Hospital (who absolutely rocked!) and some lovely children who watched our show and got crafty with us and then didn’t want to leave because they were having such a nice time! We’ve had a truly wonderful tour, and thank you to everyone who welcomed us and looked after us so well, and to the fab Susie Hall and Starlight!

So to all the staff, and all the families we have met, we wish you a very happy and healthy Christmas… ho ho ho! Love Joe, Willow, and our really big pants xx
