Popcorn Productions

We have two upcoming productions, almost back to back, so don't miss out on purchasing your tickets, either online via TicketSource www.ticketsource.co.uk/popcorn, or you can buy them on the door. Although if you do buy online, you will be entered into our 'Rachel Reeves' Raffle, with an opportunity to win £50.00 cash.

Our November production is Alan Bennett’s iconic Talking Heads vividly capturing the wit, ingenuity, and quiet despair of ordinary people navigating extraordinary moments in their lives. These sharply observed monologues draw you into the private worlds of normal men and women, revealing lives that are funny, fragile, and profoundly human. Intimate and beautifully written, the monologues remain some of Bennett’s most celebrated works, illuminating his gift for storytelling at its most honest.

Join us for an evening of Talking Heads (individual titles to be confirmed), three compelling stories that will stay with you long after you've left the theatre. Being held Westbourne Hall 27th and 28th November, with a matinee performance taking place on 28th November at 2.30pm.

Then our final fourth production of 2026 will be Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, a classic seasonal adventure filled with wonder and thrilling festive hauntings. Follow Scrooge on his unforgettable journey as he meets the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future, re-discovering friendship, kindness, and joy along the way.

Packed with colourful characters, atmospheric storytelling, and traditional Christmas charm, this iconic story bursts to life from Westbourne Hall's delightfully bijou stage in a wonderfully uplifting experience for audiences of all ages.

Ticket price includes a free mince pie and glass of mulled w**e per person!

A Christmas Carol will again be held Westbourne Hall on 11th, 12th and 13th December, again due to only 3 performances, we will be experimenting with another matinee on Sunday 13th December at 2.30pm.

For evening performances doors open at 7.00pm and the production begins at 7.30pm, noting the matinee starts at 2.30pm, with doors opening at 2.00pm, providing enough time for you to visit The Popcorn Arms, we have added new artisan latte and cappuccino coffees to our menu, made fresh on site.

A big thank you to What's On The Wirral Westbourne Hall Your Local Dragon Directories and many others for sharing, following, commenting, liking and much more to help promote our productions, we appreciate you supporting grassroots theatre and performing arts.

--CASTING CALL--
We have already cast our next November play, but we are looking to cast our final fourth play of 2026; Charles Dickens' 'A Christmas Carol'

What a way to end the year with a festive classic, we're currently adapting it, not in a progressive way, but to give more depth to the characters of the story that made it such a popular seasonal favourite.

There are main character roles for those who love a challenging part, there are smaller roles for those building up to main parts. There are walk on parts, and it has a generational cast, so young talent is also welcomed...maybe you are our 'Tiny Tim'.

If this is of interest, and you can commit to rehearsal times (Monday, Wednesday, Friday, 7.00pm prompt to 9.30pm), and performance dates (11th - 13th December), then email [email protected] for further information about auditions.

Popcorn Productions don't have a membership fee, joining fee or script fee and no nonsense, just operate a culture of fun, enjoyment and a safe space for fellowship with like minded individuals who love acting and the creative process.

We look forward to hearing from you.

We love pressure, so we're doing two plays almost back to back, we have Alan Bennett's 'Talking Heads' on 27th and 28th November, with a two week break followed by Charles Dickens' 'A Christmas Carol', James Cameron we're channeling your Avatar approach, but with shorter turnaround, less money, staff and notoriety...oh and none of our cast are digital...or are they?

We are currently writing an adaptation, not a progressive version were Tiny Tim is 18ft tall and can walk, but one that will be highly technical and push our cast and crew further than ever before...so line learning will be the least of their concerns 😂😂

Ticket price includes a free mince pie and glass of mulled w**e per person!

A Christmas Carol will be held Westbourne Hall on 11th, 12th and 13th December, again due to only 3 performances, we will be experimenting with another matinee on Sunday 13th December at 2.30pm.

A big thanks to What's On The Wirral for promoting our productions, we're building our audiences both new faces and regulars, it all helps build our brand.

You might have seen our promotional vehicle out and around Wirral, Chester, and Wales over the last few weeks, this time we popped in Bluebell tea rooms/ Cafe they were very kind to put up a poster and they serve a well priced breakfast along with fine tasting latte's, with reasonable prices....so we didn't need to sell a kidney.

If you find yourself nearby why not pop in and say hello to their pleasant staff, and it is animal friendly too....tell them the guys at Popcorn Productions sent you!

In the meantime if you find yourself looking for something to do on a hot evening why not pop along and enjoy an evening out...we even have ice creams!

A special thank you to Karen Jones for your kind comments, continued support and popping along to opening night.

This is our last post with the final clue for our 'Popcorn Doorstep Challenge', a final zoomed out image of the front door in question.

We posted our last leaflet through someone's front door last weekend. If this is your door...you will receive two FREE front row seats to one of our performances, of Oscar Wilde's 'The Importance of Being Earnest'.

Anyone who recognises this, why not share, like, comment and follow.

Fortunately mania over the eclipse has passed, unless you're standing in your garden holding up bits of card and a cheese grater to the sky for the next celestial event... why not fill your evening with something that lasts longer and won't make you blind if you look at it directly.

Oh and our tickets are cheaper than a pair of solar eclipse glasses!

We hope to see you there tonight.
