Welcome
to the quirky, silly, crazy, comical, ingenious,
ridiculous, inspiring, surprising, educational,
ecological world of Squashbox Theatre!
My
name is Craig Johnson and I live in Penzance,
Cornwall. I am a performer, musician and
puppeteer, and a long-standing member of
Kneehigh Theatre, Cornwall‘s internationally
renowned theatre company.
Find
out more about me here.
As
a solo artist, I perform under the name
Squashbox Theatre.
Squashbox
Theatre
produces quality performances involving
puppetry, storytelling, live music and comedy
for schools, theatres, village halls, festivals
and events. This website offers information
about my three current shows, The Sea Show
and Skillywidden, (recommended
for ages 5-11 / KS 1 and 2) and Universarama!
(for adults and children 7 years
+).
NEW
FOR SUMMER 2011
Squashbox
Theatre’s new show is a marvellous mix of
history and mystery!Find out all about archaeology
and fossils, say hello to one of your stone-age
ancestors, hear stories of giants and wizards,
see a volcano erupting before your very
eyes, and maybe even glimpse a dinosaur
or two…
For children aged 5+ and their
families
