Cumbernauld Theatre at Lanternhouse:
30 November - 29 December 2024
various times between 10am-2pm

Music by Karen MacIver | Written by Clive King | Directed by Dougie Irvine

Not all good things come in neatly wrapped packages. Sometimes they arrive as you least expect them… with a thud, down your chimney!
 

Join Santa on his busiest night of the year, Christmas Eve. Travelling around the world and squeezing down chimneys to deliver presents is a tough job, but this time it’s made even more difficult when he is joined by a tiny mischievous hitchhiker who is looking for a way back home. 

Entirely led by music, Special Delivery is a new children’s production for ages 3-7 produced in-house at Lanternhouse, a state-of-the-art performing arts centre based at Cumbernauld Community Campus, in a co-production with Cumbernauld Theatre Company, Visible Fictions and Scottish Opera.
