Introduction

The Children's Department was set up in May 2001 and evolved from an initial collaboration with award winning children's author Eugene Trivizas . The fruit of this collaboration was a new style of musical Puppet Shows and Narrating Events ,allowing the actors to be part of the story telling (their faces and bodies exposed) whilst using sock puppets,music and a fantastic portable set. The reaction to the original show was so immense that we were asked to tour it as well as to undertake new adaptations.What followed was a series of adaptations of Eugene's books,that are currently touring the world.

Sandis Productions have since received an international critically acclaimed reputation for adapting children's stories into fantastic musical puppet shows both for entertainement as well as for educational purposes. We cater from very small school groups and birthday parties to professional venues of up to 1000 people! Choose from our ready made children's stories or create your own for a special occasion! We can transform any story including your own into a fantastic musical puppet show. We also have numerous puppet making and story telling workshops to accompany all our productions and you can purchase goody bags that include everything you need to make your very own puppet.

The shows have now been performed in over 30 well established venues in both the UK and abroad, including: The Barbican Centre , Blackwells Book Shop in Oxford , Borders The Grove Auditorium at Magdalen College, University of Oxford, Frankfurt Book Fair, Oxford Greek Festival 2004, The Hellenic Foundation for Culture London/Berlin/New York, The Ministry of Foreign Affairs Berlin, The Bank of Cyprus Cultural Foundation (as part of the Olympic Games cultural celebrations) and many national and international schools. Sandis Productions has also adapted the award winning and international best selling book and play The Three Little Wolves and the Big Bad Pig into a full length Children's Musical featuring classic hits made famous by the Village People! This play premiered at the Oxford Greek Festival 2004 before transferring to The Bloomsbury Theatre in London.
