We have been running very successful after-school group acting classes on a Tuesday and Thursday 4-5pm at Trinity Church, Newport, Shropshire. All students were awarded distinctions when assessed by LAMDA and have grown in self-belief, ability, and confidence.

Zombie Challenge Day at Keele University

We are currently creating ‘the Zombie Challenge Day’ in collaboration with Higher Horizons+ and Keele University. A University outreach day designed to allow Year 9s privileged access to cutting edge resources and academic staff at Keele University through the vehicle of a crystal maze type challenge. In teams, students will be tasked to solve various subject challenges to stop the spread of a zombie virus before it turns deadly. A ground-breaking, ingenious and novel concept originally conceived by Moonstruck Astronaut, generously developed and funded by Higher Horizons+. To take place on Friday 6 July, with 80 high school students involved and 5 Keele schools.

Future Projects

The Banana Show

Moonstruck Astronaut is currently focusing on manifesting ‘The Banana Show’. It is to be a 30 minute two-hander for children aged 6-11 which combines elements of theatre, puppetry, physical comedy and music. The show puts the banana fruit centre stage at last, comically investigating its heritage and identity. Telford primary school children are to create the music for the show while we create the show with two actors who play a monkey and a banana.
