A SLEEPY, SHEEPY SHOW FOR BABIES AND TODDLERS
(AND VERY TIRED GROWN UPS)
Two sheep think they know everything about sleep
They’re experts in the field
But tonight, they’re wide awake
Snuggle up and join two sheep on a journey through the joys and frustrations of everything bedtime. A touching, musical adventure filled with sensory play, for 0-3 year olds and their (very tired) grown ups.
USEFUL INFO
Age guidance: 0-3 years
The show lasts 30 minutes. At the end of the show, the performers will leave the space, and you’ll have an opportunity to explore and play together for up to 50 minutes.
Doors to the performance space will open 15 minutes before the show.
COUNTING SHEEPS uses limited verbal language. Every performance is relaxed—the audience area is mostly well-lit, and it’s okay to come, go, and make noise if you need to.
There will be moments of darkness for shadow puppetry. This transition will be gentle.
The audience sit very close to the stage, on soft carpeted floor. Chairs with backs are available. We ask that audiences take off their shoes, if they can, before entering the show.
To protect the set, we ask that you don’t eat or drink anything other than water or milk in a bottle in the space. Breastfeeding is very welcome throughout.
The show began with 10 weeks of baby play sessions in 2023, in partnership with Back to Ours. The Herd worked with 50 families over this time, to explore how babies react to different forms of performance. The R+D was supported by Childhood Studies academics from The University of Hull.
