The Market Place Theatre in Armagh is the place to be this summer as it launches its June to August programme crammed full of light-hearted comedy and drama, chilled out musical performances, loads of entertainment for the little ones including the massively popular Summer musical, and not to mention the now annual John Hewitt Summer School.<\/h1>\n

\"\"<\/a>Here\u2019s just an outline of what\u2019s available to enjoy during those long summer evenings.<\/p>\n

The kids will be absolutely spoilt for choice this season. Cahoots NI are back in June with their mind-blowing production \u2018Danny Carmo\u2019s Mathematical Mysteries\u2019 – a spectacular show where Maths, Theatre and Digital Technology collide to create a fun and interactive performance proving that understanding maths can be fun! There will also be not one, but two Family Super Saturdays, the first in July with Clydebuilt Puppet Theatre\u2019s \u2018The Elves & The Shoemaker\u2019, where one good turn deserves another, in this magical story of kindness that will delight the little ones. August\u2019s Family Super Saturday offering will be \u2018The History Of Tom Thumb\u2019, an escapade of gigantic proportions in a world where everything is larger than life and ten times more exciting.<\/p>\n

Families will also be delighted with this Summer\u2019s incredible musical, \u2018Annie\u2019. Prepare to sing along to all the unforgettable classics like \u2018Hard Knock Life\u2019, \u2018Easy Street\u2019 and of course \u2018Tomorrow\u2019, as the story of the little orphan girl unfolds. A show no-one should miss, you can bet your bottom dollar that you\u2019ll love it.<\/p>\n

There\u2019ll be laughs aplenty with some fantastic stand-up comedy and comedy drama. The multi award-winning Brassneck Theatre Company are back with \u2018Che Guevara\u2019s Night Off\u2019, the laugh-a-minute tale of the world\u2019s most wanted man\u2019s night in Ireland. Join Che and the locals for a wild night\u2019s craic with fiddles, fugitives and a drop of the black stuff.<\/p>\n

The craic continues with \u2018Handbag Positive\u2019, where two middle age friends find themselves back in touch in a local A & E department, pondering their teenage years, exchanging stories and insults, and wondering why they ever liked each other.<\/p>\n

Summer wouldn\u2019t be summer without a helping of Sam Cree comedy, which this year comes in the form of \u2018Separate Beds\u2019, a hilarious evening\u2019s entertainment from the pen of Ulster\u2019s favourite playwright. The usual pot-pourri of characters, each with their own story to tell and their own crisis in hand, combine to create the perfect comedy classic.<\/p>\n

The end of the summer will see the end of the Maggie Muff trilogy, as \u2018Maggie\u2019s Feg Run\u2019 arrives in Armagh. This time Maggie and Big Sally-Ann are on their way to Benidorm on a \u2018Feg Run\u2019 to smuggle home cigarettes to sell. Sun, sea, sangria and sticky Vicky! Sure what more is there to want? This is the one you\u2019ve all been waiting for!<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t forget the musical performances this summer with chilled out jazz from the Bourbon Swing Jazz Band, some of the most exciting contemporary traditional music around from \u2018Buille\u2019 and a delightful new twist on the performance of poetry in \u2018A Poem For A Song\u2019.<\/p>\n
