Geelong Performing Arts Centre has something for theatre lovers of all ages as part of its Love Central Geelong Family Magic Program.
Coming up in the April school holidays is The Gruffalo, a CDP with Tall Stories production based on the award-winning picture book by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler.
Join Mouse on a daring adventure through the deep, dark wood in this magical, musical adaptation that has played to sell-out seasons around the world.
Searching for hazelnuts, Mouse meets the cunning Fox, the eccentric old Owl and the party mad Snake. Will the story of the terrifying Gruffalo save Mouse from ending up as dinner for these hungry woodland creatures? After all, there’s no such thing as a Gruffalo – is there?
This show features songs, laughs and scary fun for children aged 3+ and their grown-ups.
Then in the July school holidays, the centre presents Children are Stinky, an exciting award-winning children’s comedy by Circus Trick Tease.
Still buzzing from another dream run at the Edinburgh Fringe with five star reviews and sold-out shows globally, this show has been captivating adults and children alike.
Set in the 1990s, plenty of in-jokes and a cleverly choreographed nostalgic mash-up hooks parents in for a rollicking trip down memory lane. This is an enjoyable show for all ages that encourages the slight of years to be proud of themselves.
Performers April Dawson and Kyle Raftery deliver a powerhouse of circus talent. Expect daredevil stunts, incredible acrobatics, lighting fast hula hoops and loads of laughs.
Children Are Stinky is suitable for ages 3-10 and their families.
Tickets for all Family Magic shows are $22 each or $20 when booked in groups of four or more. Ticket price includes free creative craft sessions in the foyer immediately following the show.
