A magical, musical adventure made up on the spot! Join us for a laugh-out-loud, fully improvised show where kids’ ideas take centre stage and every performance is a brand-new story packed with songs, silliness, and surprises!In this 45-minute, interactive adventure, kids call out ideas that we instantly transform into catchy songs, wild characters, and laugh-out-loud scenes – all made up on the spot. No two shows are ever the same! It’s a high-energy mix of music, comedy, heroes, monsters, and audience participation that keeps everyone captivated from start to finish.
While there are opportunities for audience participation, we know that not all kids will want to do so – the show is designed so every kid can have fun without being pushed outside their comfort zone.
And parents, this one is for the kids, so you will not be asked to participate, just sit back and enjoy the show!
The Improvisors
- Marea and Heidi have collectively been improvising for more than two decades. Their expertise has seen them teaching improvisation locally, nationally and internationally!
- Marea has worked as an assistant director of a summer camp in California. Recently she has become a mum and wants to see more theatre designed just for kids.
- Heidi has toured nationally in an educational acting troupe for kids and teenagers. She is currently a drama teacher who loves helping kids unleash their creativity.
- Our Muso, Zac Nicholls, is a professional musician who has been making music his whole life. Zac has written multiple kid shows for the Playhouse Theatre and the Fortune Theatre and currently teaches music to local primary school students.
The shows
There are two tailored performances:
2pm: Age suggestion: 5–8 – big energy, big fun, big imagination!
3.30pm: Age suggestion: 9–12 – fast-paced, hilarious, and totally unpredictable!
But we know every child is unique – parents are encouraged to choose whichever show feels best for their children.
So, bring a cushion, bring a cape, and come along for the fun!
