A magical children’s Christmas show with beautiful puppetry, imaginative storytelling and original music that will give you goosebumps from Soap Soup Theatre, for ages 3-8 and their families


Deep in the remote snowy forest an icy wind blows and snowflakes fall from the sky. Doris and her Bear Man live on the hill, alone but happy. Wrapped up in a snowy smother, they are in love. But when the snowstorm comes, Doris’ Bear Man disappears! How will Doris survive by herself in a forest plagued with nothing but bad weather and a cloud of hungry crows?

This is a love story. This is story of castles in the air, of weathering the storm, and dreams coming true in the most unexpected ways. A gentle show exploring family, love and loss, with lots of music, confetti and funny bits for the whole family to enjoy!

“A tender and enchanting children’s story, featuring a host of loveable characters.”
