Way Too Cool

Written and Composed by Craig Christie | Directed by Ava Hunt

Tue 24 Jun, 2025
Marley and Henry have been friends since they met in year three a long time ago now.

They enjoy playing games online and sharing books. They’ve shared their hopes and dreams and always looked out for each other. But recently something is different. Henry has started avoiding Marley at school. He’s too busy for their usual catch ups at the weekend. He’s not acting the same. In fact – he’s not acting like Henry at all…

What has happened to Henry?
Is it because of Tam, the new person, that’s just arrived?
How can Marley make things the way they used to be?
Could the answers lie in the books they used to love to share?!

WAY TOO COOL is a brand-new educational musical that will explore the challenges of transition to secondary school, making new friends and taking care of our well-being.

A highly interactive musical adventure that explores situations that children (particularly 9-11 year olds) will be able to relate to. At its heart WAY TOO COOL is a celebration of the how all of us are on a journey of personal growth and development. It is also a journey that supports children, through the twists and turns of friendship and mapping out a way to solve their differences using empathy, kindness and a strong sense of humour.


Ava Hunt Theatre is a multi- award-winning company, based in Derbyshire with a commitment to creating exciting, high quality theatre and workshops for young people.
