A THEATRE group is putting on free dance shows for children.

Full House Theatre will stage Where The River Runs, a captivating piece of dance for children aged four and over.

It’s the simple story of a stranger trying to cross a river and what happens when water comes to life.

The piece promises to have both children and parents enthralled with stunning movement, great storytelling and some spectacular lifts.

Thameside Theatre, in Grays, is offering Thurrock families the opportunity to see this high-quality, fun and entertaining dance performance.

There will be two shows and entrance is free of charge.

Performances will be held at St Stephen’s Church Hall, in London Road, Purfleet, today at 11am and 2pm.

There will also be shows at Grays Baptist Church, in Orsett Road, on Saturday at 11am and 2pm.
