Snow White and Her Little BIG Men
On Friday 17th November, Encompass Theatre proudly presented their final production the hilarious production Pantomime Snow White and Her Little BIG Men at the Chrysalis Theatre in Camphill Milton Keynes. Adapted from a play by Alison Savoer.
After ten years of fabulous performances this was the final show by the Encompass Theatre Group. From the high drama of West End Story to the slap-stick comedy of the Blues Brothers the Encompass Theatre Group have always delivered something special. This pantomime had people laughing out loud all the way through and was of course delivered in their usual exceptional style.

Halloween Party
On Friday 3rd November, residents and co-workers from Camphill Milton Keynes had a Halloween party at the Chrysalis Theatre in Camphill Milton Keynes.
Why do we celebrate Halloween?
The three days between 31st October and 2nd November see pagan and Christian celebrations intertwined in a fascinating way and is a perfect example of superstition struggling with religious belief.
Currently, it is widely thought that Halloween originated as a pagan Celtic festival of the dead related to the Irish and Scottish Samhain, but there is no evidence that it was connected with the dead in pre-Christian times.

Why do we celebrate Halloween?
The easy answer to this question is that no one really knows the origins of Halloween.
What we do know for sure is that Halloween is on the eve of a major Catholic festival, All Saints (1st November) and the eve of the pagan Celtic festival known as Samhain.The three days between 31st October and 2nd November see pagan and Christian celebrations intertwined in a fascinating way and is a perfect example of superstition struggling with religious belief.
