A DIGITAL cabaret is being staged by Cardigan’s Small World Theatre.

The virtual event will be live streamed on Saturday, February 13 from 8pm and will feature a performance by singer Marty O’Reilly performing indie, folk, and blues from Santa Cruz, California.

There will also be a ‘seriously good’ magic show, puppet animation sketches and two aerial shows performed in Cardigan by Hannah Darby and Jess Allen.

A spokesperson said: "Small World Theatre is delighted to announce the of launch of an online programme at a time when audiences are missing contact with their local community venues.

"Small World Theatre received timely support from the Arts Council of Wales to explore and experiment with new ground-breaking digital techniques. We are introducing new 2D puppet characters taking our work online to present a programme of events, live-streamed from the venue. 

"The Digital Stage will include story time for children, intimate gigs, cabaret and more besides. This is an experiment that’s somewhere between live performance and watching a film.

"Instead of feeling overly restricted by Covid we aim to enhance our work using technology, find new ways to engage audiences and reach more people in their homes. 

"We will be doing everything we can to keep the atmosphere warm and friendly, showcasing many of your favourite performers such as Beyond Compere, until we are able to safely meet again."
