Action Transport Theatre’s Family Festival brings a variety of art forms to Ellesmere Port annually – storytelling, theatre, film, craft workshops, digital escape rooms and more. 2018’s festival brought a unique street theatre group and turned a grey day into one which filled the Port Arcades shopping mall and surrounding streets with laughter. The Boom Booms, with their outrageous non-verbal comedy style burst onto the streets and into shops and businesses. Great communicators, they encouraged everyone they met to join in the hilarity. Star of the day was a pensioner who called her daughter in New York with ‘You’ll never guess what’s happening in The Port!’ and promptly showed her the video she’d captured on her iPhone! The power of Art, eh?
