Theatre Beyond Words delights audiences with their high energy, fanciful, physical performance of Potato Chips.

Potato Chips celebrates lessons that all children go through related to integrity, responsibility, cooperation, empathy and inclusiveness.
What sticky situations will Nancy get herself into with the mischievous neighbourhood dog? And if that isn’t enough to keep Momma on her toes imagine how frazzled she’ll be when Grandma Potato stops by for a visit with more than a few sneaky surprises up her sleeves!
