St Edmund's Festival presents ... A Moment for the Movies
St Edmund's Theatre, Canterbury, CT2 8HU
Tuesday 30th June 2026
This original production follows Raymond, the struggling owner of a traditional cinema, who is swept into the world of film when a faulty projector transports him into the golden age of movies. Trapped inside the screen, he journeys through iconic film genres — from silent film and jazz-age classics to westerns, war films and musicals — all brought to life through live performance.
Combining drama, music, orchestra and choir, the production showcases performers across the school in a vibrant, family-friendly celebration of storytelling, creativity and the enduring power of cinema.
The Festival bar will be open in the marquee from 6:30pm and during the interval.
Priority booking is available to parents of performers from 20th May - 1st June. The code will be sent via email on 20th May.
The A Moment for the Movies is kindly sponsored by Burgess Hodgson
