Auntie Susan and Auntie Delilah are very excited because it’s decorating day!  On Decorating Day, the two sisters must do everything in the right order, just like they do at Christmas every year – put up the tree, decorate it, put the star at the top and finally sing their Christmas song. Filled with sibling rivalry, baubles, sprouts and boxes, the trouble really starts when the star goes missing. 

The Cinnamon Sisters is a funny, perfect Christmas show for the under 7s filled with slapstick, comedy and songs.  

The Cinnamon Sisters is a collaboration between Dirliebane Theatre Company and Perth Theatre.  

The Cinnamon Sisters performed at Perth Theatre Christmas 2021 and Christmas 2024.  

“A Heartwarming show for all the generations”  

Along with magical theatrics “…the true stars of the show are Ferrier and Colles. Their comedic genius, is flawlessly executed, delivered through two-part harmonies and slapstick, has the audience ‘oohing’, ‘aaahing’ and laughing the whole way through.  … What was clear…was the power of theatre to bring generations of families together in a special way.   Ruth Rankin, Perthshire Advertiser.

“As I’m sure you saw, my girls loved the show and took flyers home with them as if they were treasure. This afternoon my daughter insisted on opening the rice steamer box like your star box (with added not yets). A wonderful performance that made us all feel warm and full of Christmas fuzziness”
