Who indeed?
One two three
Was it you or was it me?
Or was it perhaps a small wee bear?
Or was it the girl with the golden hair?
For everyone who can count to three - especially if you’re aged 3 to 7!
A playful and musical interpretation of a well known tale – with porridge and bears and one two three chairs.
A tale that's not too big and not too small but just right.
So you think you know this story? Well, take it from us, it's not so easy to tell when it's wintertime and the bears won't wake up – Zzzzzzzzz – what do bears dream about?
But spring in the air puts a spring in all our steps and one little girl is always a step ahead. And when small bear gets lost, we all have to go on a bear hunt!

Who's Been Sitting in My Chair? completes our trilogy of shows featuring a bear in a leading role. So far we have had a bear for all seasons (Frogs and Snails and Teddy Bear Tales), a bear in wolf's clothing (Little Red...You Know Who!) and now a small wee bear (Who's Been Sitting in my Chair) who is part of his very own trilogy of bears!
Why bears?
We have discovered that bears provide ideal empathy characters for our young audiences. Bears are familiar and affectionate and they can be both mischievous and wise. The bear in each production has had a different quality and appearance but all have had the ability to evoke in the children watching the production strong feelings of compassion and concern.
Our previous production, Little Red...You Know Who! has toured far and wide
“We all agree that you are the best theatre company that we have had in school. The atmosphere that you created was magical and you held the children spellbound. It was lovely to watch their faces and see them being totally absorbed in the beautiful world that you had created. We are all looking forward to your next production so put us at the top of the list.”
