Whipped Up! Is a show for toddlers set in a 1950s diner: that’s Dottie … and it’s coming to Maidenhead this half-term.

The family friendly show Whipped Up! Will be performed at Norden Farm Centre For The Arts.

At this diner, the baby is the customer and grown-ups are along for the ride.

As Dottie waits on their demanding clientele (imagine babies doing what babies do best – creating adorable chaos) the server grows increasingly frazzled … and more and more entertaining.

The performance is stimulating for tiny audience members with sensory play served up throughout the show.

And for grown-ups, it’s hilarious watching their little ones take on roles in an unfolding comedy.

Whipped Up! serves up a space for babies to discover theatre

Whipped Up! was created to provide a welcoming space and moment of joy for babies and their dedicated grown ups.

It was written and conceived by Jill Rogati.

She received her Master of Fine Arts in Lecoq-based, Actor-created Physical Theatre from the London International School of Performing Arts (LISPA) in conjunction with Naropa University.

She invests her time teaching actors how to move their bodies and makes puppets for Boston-based Imaginary Beasts theatre company.

Directed by Eva Sampson, associate director on Four Quartets at Harold Pinter Theatre with Ralph Fiennes.

Eva is the Co-Artistic Director of How It Ended theatre company and an Associate Artist of National Youth Theatre.

The play is produced by Watford Palace Theatre.
