THEATRE, music, comedy and children's performances are visiting 13 village and community halls across Cheshire West and Chester (CWaC) borough. 

 Cheshire Rural Touring Arts has launched a new autumn season which began in Tattenhall with a one woman show about the life of Nell Gywen.  

Other highlights include 10 young singers from Zimbabwe called Umdumo Wesizwe and a story of a young evacuee in Oxfordshire Theatre Company's Dancing in my Dreams. 

Also welcomed is Blaize Theatre Company with a new take on a famous Dickens tale in The Christmas Cratchits and there is live comedy from Spike Theatre's Hoof. There is music from bygone eras from the sounds of the 1920s and 1930s from Shoo Shoo Baby and the swinging 1950s era from The Atlantics.  

Cheshire Rural Touring Arts is supported by CWaC, Cheshire East Council and the Arts Council of England. Dancing in my Dreams was the subject of the entertainment at Upton Village Hall on Sunday. Some of the season’s other highlights include Big Beat Boogie at Helsby Community Centre on Sunday, October 11; Undumo Wesizwe performing at the Gladstone Village Hall in Burton, Wirral, on Saturday, October 17 and Home by Christmas at Capenhurst and Ledsham Village Hall on Saturday, December 5.
