What to do this School Holidays?
School holidays
Top 5 things to do!
The school holidays are fast approaching with the rain and windy winter weather. As we all know summer months are excellent for children to be home when there is so much to do. Parks, picnic, beaches, pools, camping, tramping or just letting them run around outside constructing mud pies and forts.
The winter months make entertaining children a more difficult task. The cold weather has everyone in a bad mood and there are only so many movies to watch or books to read. Organizing play dates can also be dangerous; after the initial excitement and first hour of play the children troop over complaining “We’re bored” or “there’s nothing to do.”
Here at Circa Theatre we have a solution.
Playshop Performance Company present Grimm Bedtime Stories is a hilarious and magical tale of brothers who are determined to stay up late by thrilling each other with stories. Some stories are scary, some are sweet and others are much too fun! Theatre is not passive like television and films can be, rather your child will be encouraged to join in and participate in the action and creativity.
Grimm Bedtime Stories opens specially for the July school holidays. With 11am shows daily this is the perfect chance for you to get your children out of the house and into an immersive theatrical experience.
Interactive theatre is an experience like no other. Grimm bedtime stories is a show created specifically for children aged between 5 – 10 years of age, your children will be invited into this secret world, where bed sheets become landscapes, torches become monsters eyes, and pyjamas become mystical puppets.
