Small World Theatre wishes to act responsibly to consider measures and precautions to help prevent the spread of COVID-19 and other illnesses.
We’d like to take this opportunity to thank the participants for their hard work promoting the event and we can’t wait to see what they have in store for us in October.

CANCELLED Marty O’Reilly + The Riverside
2020-03-27 20:00 - 21:30
12/3/20
CANCELLED Marty O’Reilly + The Riverside 27/3/20. In Marty’s own words “Dear friends in the UK and Europe, I’m sorry to say that at this juncture, the only reasonable thing to do in the light of the ongoing spread of Corona Virus COVID-19 is to cancel this tour. I’ve just flown to Europe and am now turning around and flying right back home. It seems to be an irresponsible time to encourage folks to leave their homes and come be in a room together. Be careful, be safe. We’ll give this another shot down the road.”

Contact Small World Theatre by email if you’ve purchased tickets for a full refund. Samba and Helen are here to answer your questions Tuesday – Friday 10am – 4.30pm. Thanks 01239 615 952.

Marty O’Reilly first played solo as a young college kid back when he was starting at the University of Santa Cruz. He sat in on open mic nights, tipped pints at the bar and engaged his new community. These days he’s normally the front man for Marty O’Reilly and the Old Soul Orchestra, but this is just the guy, his harmonica and guitar, playing songs he wrote or just songs he loves to play.
O’Reilly plays with the conviction of a veteran Chicago blues man that belies his Sonoma County roots. He plays straight ahead and aggressively, weaving songs into medleys with such skill that the listener might not know when one song ends and the next begins. His guitar attack is fierce, he beats strings with rapid strums and furious note runs. martyoreilly.com
The Riverside is a band of friends from California and Texas, founded by husband and wife duo, Jacob and Lorien Jeanson. Circled around one microphone, the band relies on one another to find balance in their music. This traditional type of performance, coupled with vocal harmony and their folk-rooted stringed instruments, the band paints landscapes and tells their stories. Through travelling the country together and speaking honestly about many highs and lows, The Riverside strives to be a family that grows together, and a band that helps listeners carry on down this life’s winding river. theriversidefolk.com

Aerial sling is a new and increasingly popular aerial circus discipline that uses a giant loop of aerial silk. It draws from both trapeze and aerial silks vocabulary to create beautiful static poses or dynamic sequences. Sling is a great entry point for aerial circus as it’s one of the more comfortable pieces of apparatus to start learning how to make shapes in the air!
Over the course of each half term we will work on developing strength, core, technique and vocabulary and learning short sequences.
Beginners are welcome and no experience necessary. £12 per session booked in advance by the half term
Booking is essential, please contact helen@smallworld.org.uk 01239 615 952.
