CELEBRATE OUR 30TH BIRTHDAY WITH US!

For 30 years, The Point has been at the heart of Eastleigh, welcoming audiences, nurturing local talent, and bringing communities together through live performance. Alongside our sister venue, The Berry Theatre in Hedge End, we work year-round to support artists, inspire young people, and share stories that matter.

We’ll be marking this special milestone with various events across our programme. Keep an eye out for the 30th Birthday logo in the flyer alongside the chosen events.

As we celebrate our birthday, we’ll also be raising £30,000 toward upgrading our auditorium seating. Your support will make every performance more comfortable and every visit more enjoyable. Find out how you can support us online.

A magical, musical, froggy adventure!

Flora is a Princess until her Father is stripped of his title and imprisoned for a crime he didn’t commit. Sent to live with her magical Aunt Isadora, Flora is far from the life she knew before.

One Christmas Eve, Flora receives a letter from her friend Jude, a Prince from a neighbouring land - his home is in trouble and he needs her help. Flora sets off on a rescue mission that doesn’t quite go to plan when a magical mishap turns Flora into a frog.

Can Frog Flora save the Prince? Will she be able turn herself back into a human or have to live as a frog forever? Can she figure it all out in time for Christmas Day?

Ribbet!
