Children create two productions each year, which are performed at the Peel Centenary Centre theatre. Past performances include:

The Junior Revue
Jack & The Beanstalk
A Change in the Weather
Santa's Mission Impossible
Horrid Aunt Doreen
Manannan Fantasia
The Nutcracker

Photographs from performances can be viewed on the Galleries pages.
