About

Our dream is to inspire confidence in children through fun and engaging productions, workshops and community events. We aim to educate through inventive story-telling and original music. Our work is created for every child, from every background.

Who are we?

Wind Song Theatre are a children’s theatre company whose stories are brought to life using original scores combined with innovative story-telling. Fun and adventure is always at the heart of every production we do. The theatre is a magical place where creativity leads to inspiration and that’s exactly what we aim to do… inspire our audiences to imagine and dream.

 

How it all began…

Wind Song Theatre is co-lead and founded by Rebecca Ward and Lily Streames. We are both actor-writer-directors who have enjoyed exciting careers working in stage and film. We met in 2016 performing on a UK tour of a children’s theatre show. Our passion for devising children’s theatre with music and multiroling at it’s core was brought together through the creation of Wind Song Theatre in 2018.

Our first show, Footprints In The Snow, was commissioned by the Winchester Discovery Centre in December 2018 for a Christmas Season with sell out shows. Following the successful run we were commissioned to write a new show for Christmas 2019, Pip’s Post Room, which then went on to a Christmas residency at Chelmsford Studio Theatre for Christmas 2021.

Our passion for children’s theatre doesn’t only involve stage shows with professional actors. As part of our education and outreach programs we have directed and produced I Wish, a musical by Ashton Moore, at the The Palace Theatre Westcliff in 2019 and at Chelmsford Theatres in 2021. The cast was made up of a mixture of young performers and professional actors.

 

What’s next?

Something big is in the pipeline! Exciting news of a brand new Christmas show and residency in a well-known and beloved theatre in Essex will be announced in early 2025. For now, our lips are tightly sealed.

Coming soon…

A brand new show The Duck in Dungarees is set to tour the UK in Summer 2026 and tells the story of a country Duck who wants to save the planet in an energetic, adventure story with an original folk score.
