SHARING EXPERIENCES
WELCOME! It’s that time of year again when we take our work into the great outdoors and keep our fingers crossed that the British weather is on our side! This summer we have more to offer than ever with Summer Socials, Live at the Park and Unwrapped Festival all making welcome returns and ready for you to enjoy with a welliced drink. And with so much of our work taking place across the Borough, we thought it was about time we gave all this creative brilliance a banner: therefore, we are delighted to launch Anywhere – a new programme of work encompassing all the creative things that happen beyond the walls of the theatres and proving that creativity really can happen Anywhere! Keep an eye out for our little Anywhere flags popping up in an unexpected place near you, it means something wonderful is happening nearby. Of course, we have plenty of treats available on our stages too: laugh with Jonny and the Baptists, at one of our Comedy Networks or with stand-up from Mark Watson or Chris McCausland. Feel uplifted with an Ode to Joyce and Bumper Blyton. Relax and have fun with Your Turn to be creative at one of our classes such as Yoga, Watercolours or at our free After School Club. We’re thrilled to welcome a range of performances and events from our valued theatre hirers. You’ll find details of their events on the pages titled Community. None of this would be possible without your support, helping us to work together with Eastleigh Borough Council and Arts Council England to create an Eastleigh for Everyone, making sure that no one misses out on creative experiences in our Borough. A donation to Eastleigh for Everyone helps us keep these experiences alive. Thank you so much for your continued support by visiting, by becoming a Friend and by donating. We love sharing experiences with you.

EASTLEIGH FOR EVERYONE 06 6
EASTLEIGH FOR EVERYONE We want everyone to be able to feel the magic that sharing experiences can bring. From a live theatre show to our family events, stand-up comedy, Summer Social live music to taking part in a workshop, class or creative activity. Our programme of work can be based Anywhere in Eastleigh – spilling out from our theatres into the Borough, at Itchen Valley Country Park, in town centres and beyond. By supporting our work you can help us bring live experiences to those who most need the joys of company, laughter, moving and the powerful impact of enjoying a
creative, shared experience. Your donation could help someone attend who may not otherwise have the means to, or support someone who may be socially isolated without a regular class or activity to come to. We want to be here for everyone and with your help, we’ll work hard to do just that.

Plus, he forgot to put the bins out and now his wife hates him. In this side-splitting new stand-up show, he explores how the people he admired shaped his world, and how helping his kids find their moral compass often causes him to misplace his own.

JONNY & THE BAPTISTS: DANCE LIKE IT NEVER HAPPENED
Oh wow, the last two years have been awful haven’t they? So what do we do now? Just power through? Laugh and pretend it’s definitely fine? Or deal with the trauma of multiple lockdowns, emotional shutdowns and total breakdowns?

In “Dance Like It Never Happened” musical comedians Jonny & The Baptists are gonna try to do it all. Grieve, bounce back, have a cry and then do the macarena. It’ll be the funniest, most joyful and uplifting show you will ever see about feeling totally bereaved.

Created by Amy Cooke-Hodgson (founder of Edfringe and Multi Award-winning West End hit Austentatious) and Jonah Fazel (BAFTA winning History Bombs) Bumper Blyton is chock full of innuendo and lashings of puns, performed in vintage costume with music and songs.

IMPATIENT PRODUCTIONS PRESENTS
MARK WATSON: THIS CAN’T BE IT We’ve all had some pondering to do about the fragility of life recently, but don’t worry, skinny national treasure Mark Watson has it covered.
At 41, he’s halfway through his days on earth, according to the life expectancy calculator app he paid £1.49 for. That life is in the best shape in living memory... but one problem remains, and it really is a huge one.
COMEDY
Spiritual enquiry meets high-octane observational comedy as the ‘Taskmaster’ survivor, multi-award-winner and “No More Jockeys” cult leader attempts to cram a couple of years of pathological overthinking into an evening of stand-up. Maybe we’ll even solve the huge problem. Doubt it, though.

LET’S ALL DANCE PRESENTS
THE PRINCESS AND THE PEA
BY THE LAST BAGUETTE THEATRE COMPANY
KING ARTHUR -
A FUN & FARCICAL FAMILY ADVENTURE
With a quirky Princess, a Prince who wants to marry for love and a fairy tale challenge, this is a charming ballet show with a great message to never judge a book by its cover!
A long time ago, so long ago in fact that nobody quite knows whether it happened, or where it happened (or not), a boy pulled a sword from a stone and became King.
This gorgeous new production mixes Let’s All Dance’s signature crystal clear narrative, fantastic dancing, beautiful costumes and lovely music to enthral children and families.
A deliberately anarchic and anachronistic retelling of the Arthurian Legend, directed by John Nicholson and written by Tiff Woodsmith, this show has live music, physical comedy and lo-fi acrobatics. Entertaining, accessible and eccentric, it’s perfect for the whole family.

AWFUL AUNTIE
THE WIND IN THE WILLOWS
Owls, ghosts, chases, escapes, motorcycle rides, and tiddlywinks all fill Stella’s days as she evades her menacing aunt and saves the family home.
One summer afternoon in Wild Wood, while the animals ate picnics and played with their friends, a mischievous ‘poop poop’ echoed in the trees.
Awful Auntie by David Walliams, adapted for the outdoor stage by Heartbreak Productions, is a truly thrilling tale. So, please join us to hear how it all came about!
Join Mole, Ratty and Badger as they save Toad and his shiny new motorcar from deep trouble in award-winning theatre company Calf2Cow’s floor-stomping, hilarious retelling of Kenneth Grahame’s classic woodland adventure.

RESTORATION LEVY AND BOOKING FEES Where marked with an asterisk a Restoration Levy of £1 has been added to the ticket prices of our professional programme, films and hirer events to help the ongoing programme of maintenance to our theatres and equipment. We do not charge a booking fee. COMMUNITY PERFORMANCES Events under the ‘Community’ title in this brochure are presented or promoted by one of our valued professional or community hirers. The presenting companies are therefore responsible for the content and production values of these performances. RESERVATIONS, EXCHANGES, RETURNS We can hold reserved tickets for three working days (21 days for group bookings) after which we will contact you to confirm or release your tickets. Reservations will not be taken 48 hours before a show. Tickets are non-refundable but can be changed for another performance of the same show incurring an administration fee of £1.50. WE’RE INCLUSIVE We want our buildings and everything we do to be as inclusive to our audiences as possible and are committed to finding ways to allow everyone to enjoy their visit to The Point and The Berry Theatre.
