Applause Rural Touring: Streets Alive
Join us in the city centre for an afternoon of fun, laughter and general ‘silliness’ as some of the UK best Street Theatre hits Chelmsford city centre.
Join Frank Wurzinger’s Devious Dolphins, a playful and interactive walkabout show at the Chelmsford Festival.
Highly intelligent and naughty, these mammals show off their tricks and will make audience members jump through hoops. Commissioned by Applause Rural Touring.
Supported by the Essex County Council Arts and Cultural Fund.
