The Healing Tree

A community musical play to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of The Boxford Masques

30th July - 3rd August 2025 Boxford RG20 8DD

What?

We will create a mystical forest on a stage in a huge tent on the local recreation ground. This will be the epicentre of our event and we will tell The Tree's stories through music, acting and dance. We employ professional direction, choreography, design, costume makers and musicians as well as construct an outdoor venue; giving our audeince a truly surprising experience in a bucolic outdoor setting.

As the sun fades, the lights brighten and The Tree begins to tell it's secrets....

When?

Over 6 performances between the 30th July and 3rd August  you will marvel at the story of The Healing Tree.

Magical powers will be revealed, true love may blossom and good will triumph over evil....or will it?

Who?

Our commitment to reaching out to young people to be involved in the arts will see a large children's and young persons cast, ably supported by adults expressing themselves, some possibly for the first time, having taken the plunge in a friendly and relaxed environment. We encourage our participants to aim high in their quest to perform, providing an artistic outlet rare in our rural village community. We build confidence and enjoyment with support from those who are already working in the professional acting community. Our cast is open to all and we will train and develop talent, through a series of rehearsal workshops, in local people from ages 5 to 85.  

Come join the party!

Party In The Park!
 
On a sunsoaked afternoon in Boxford, reminiscent of Masques gone by, around 150 people gathered and laughed, talked and listened to great music all afternoon.
Headlining were The Station, a local trio of unbounded talent fresh from sold out London gigs and a tour of Spain.
Supporting were the lovely lads from OMP, the velvet tones of Aoife and a stunning warm afternoon set from our very own Bridgerton superstar Ben Prout  busting out some seriously good music.
The children laughed and cheered at the theatre show and our furry friends enjoyed their own fun dog show; with Cosmo clean sweeping the prizes!
 
A huge thank you to everyone who came and supported Party in the Park last Saturday! We had a blast and what a lovely day it was.
 
Thanks so much for all the support from volunteers, stall holders, dog show organisers, childrens' theatre, bands, bar workers and the BBQ crew; we really could not do it without you.
 
A good amount of money raised for the next Masque in July 2025 and exciting to hear that a large chunk of the playwriting is already significantly progressed.
We can all begin to dream of heady summer days in Boxford next year; with a canvas, a play and more fun than any of us could wish for!
 
Thanks to all once more! x
