Join the hapless hero Little Pleb as he finds his fortune, loses it, meets the Green Fairy, and gets in to a whole heap of trouble. Stinxville is wacky, irreverent, and full of songs, spills and madcap comedy.

The Crazy Janes, a dancing troup with fabulous frocks but very bad attitudes, are sick of smiling, frollicking and talking in rhyme. They’re sick of the Wicked Tailor being boss, and they hate that Stinky Green Fairy. They might just RIOT!

On the 2nd April 2016 Guy and I had the honor of representing P**T (Portrait of our Time) at the EPIC awards. Epic stands for Enterprise, Participation, Innovation and Creativity, although Community would also apply - it certainly does in our case! You can read all about the other award winners on the Epic blog but here is my take on the weekend, http://blog.epicawards.co.uk/2016/04/epic-awards-2016-winners-announced/
Back in March we found out alter:nativity was one of 8 finalists shortlisted from over 50 Scottish entries for a Voluntary Arts Epic awards. Quite honestly I didn’t think we stood a chance! Before we knew it the judges were coming and I set about putting together a presentation to give a flavor of our wonderful community. The judges were particularly tickled to be met by a roman guard and of course to see the steading where the play was staged.
So, two weeks passed and Lo and Behold we won the Scottish award!
Leaving Aberdeen last Friday to Cardiff, only the Uist choir travelled further.

The whole magnitude of the event gradually started to sink in as we reached the castle for the awards ceremony, other award winners told us how much they liked our project and Sophie McKeand, the young person's poet laureate for Wales told me she liked our story best, it made her cry and then she cried again…tears of appreciation and happiness she said - which made me cry!

When the people behind Christmas show alter:nativity talk about ‘community spirit’, they’re not just paying lip service to it. Ninety performers from four rural villages in Aberdeenshire (Birse, Ballogie, Finzean and Strachan) came together to stage this modern day nativity, ranging in age from 4 mo…
