Something new has crash-landed in Andy's room...
As the toys rally to welcome their newest addition, old loyalties are tested and hearts start to wobble. With a yard sale looming and a daring rescue mission on the horizon, it's shaping up to be Andy's most eventful birthday yet.
But when the toys are swept further from home than they ever imagined, can they make it back before Andy notices they're gone?
DOORS OPEN - 14:30 | SHOW STARTS - 15:00

How to Find University of Bedfordshire Theatre
The theatre is located within the University of Bedfordshire campus on Polhill Avenue, MK41 9EA, with access via nearby main routes including the A6.
If using a sat nav, please enter the full postcode to be directed to the campus entrance. Please note that signage to the theatre is limited - additional guidance will be shared via our official channels ahead of the performance.
From the main car park by the campus entrance, walk towards the buildings directly opposite. You will see a pathway between two large buildings - follow this path, and the theatre entrance will be on the left-hand side.
ANPR Parking Charges
Parking is available on site at the University of Bedfordshire campus. There are two main car parks available for visitors:
The main car park is located immediately on the left as you enter the campus. There are specifically marked disabled bays for blue badge holders.
A second overspill car park is located further in, on the right-hand side, and is directly adjacent to the theatre building.
IMPORTANT — Paid Parking (ANPR): The car parks are operated 24 hours a day using Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR). Parking is charged from the moment you enter the site. There is a 30-minute grace period for drop offs - if you enter and exit within 30 minutes, no charge is applied. However, if you stay beyond 30 minutes, you are charged for your entire stay from the point of arrival, not just the time over 30 minutes. The system is strictly enforced, so please ensure you pay if required.
Masquerades Youth Theatre Group does not endorse off-site parking as a recommended option, and accepts no liability for any parking charges incurred, including those resulting from failure to pay or parking in residential permit zones. Please check all signage carefully on arrival.
We recommend arriving at least 20 minutes before the performance to allow time to park, reach the theatre, scan tickets, and take your seats.
Accessibility
The theatre offers step-free access into the building, with a lift available to the upper level.
Wheelchair users can access the auditorium via the upper level entrance, where designated wheelchair spaces are available. Access to the ground floor of the auditorium is also possible.
A disabled toilet is located on the ground floor of the building.
If you require directions or assistance on arrival, please speak to a member of the Masquerades team who will be able to guide you to the most suitable access point.
If you have any accessibility requirements or would like to discuss arrangements ahead of your visit, please contact Masquerades Box Office so that suitable provisions can be made for your arrival.
Additional Information
Doors open no earlier than 45 minutes before the performance.
As there is no dedicated venue front of house team, Masquerades staff will be unavailable to admit latecomers once the performance has begun. Please note that the theatre doors may be locked during the performance, meaning you may not be able to access the building at all if you arrive late.
Refreshments and drinks will be available to purchase from the Box Office area. Please note that alcohol may not be available for purchase on site due to licensing regulations.
