On Stage effects

Having just read some intersting comments about theatre in Gosnells I hope that I can get some help from you all.
Acorn Theatre "The Smallest Theatre in the World"(Guiness Book of Records) is getting set to perform Roald Dahl's "The Witches". I would like some technical advice about on stage explosions. They are being used to cover human sized actors turning into mice (actual size).
We have thought about flashes of light and coloured smoke. Any other ideas?
Thanks
Wes

I have been out of theatre for a number of years. There now appears to be some kind of a licence to employ on-stage pyrotechnic effects. Could someone please tell me where I can find details of this requirement as I wish to Direct a pantomime late this year. No one in our group know of this requirement.
Thanks, Jim, from the snow country.
