Performing Arts Events for Kids in New South Wales

Shhh! There’s a secret lying at the bottom of Sydney Harbour... Can you help us look for it? Dive down deep with us as we join Maya and her seahorse friend Koru, as they embark on an underwater adventure and discover the wonders lying beneath the waves. What will happen when the ancient seadragon wakes? Will they find the Weedy Seadragon in time? Written by award-winning author Wendy Blaxland, Maya and the Sea Dragon is a beautiful new work, brought to life by the performers at MSTYP. Packed with all the characters of the sea, puppetry, music, and the magic of theatre, this world premiere is part of Marian Street Theatre for Young People’s 50th birthday celebrations. Come with us on the adventure… Maya and the Sea Dragon by Marian St Theatre for Young People Venue: Knox Cultural Centre, located near Borambil St., Pacific Highway, Wahroonga Season: Saturday 6th July - Saturday 20th July Times: 10.30am and 1pm (1pm only on Saturdays, no performances Sundays)

Keep it cool at ATYP these Winter Holidays. The Winter school holidays are just around the corner but don’t panic, Australian Theatre for Young People (ATYP) is here to help with a brilliant line-up of Drama Workshops created to engage performers of all ages. ATYP carefully design our workshops to make sure all young people from K-12 spend a week of their holidays having the best time possible learning new skills, making new friends and of course creating a brand-new performance for their family and friends at the end of the week. With workshops that include acting, singing, writing, short film making, comedy, trips to the theatre, imagination stretching, and SO MUCH MORE, there is something for every young performer. Our junior participants (Yrs K-6) can get lost in the world of The Twits at Monkey Baa Theatre Company or jump behind the camera to create their very own YouTube Channel. Perhaps they could be inspired by our nation’s oldest stories, or stumble into an abandoned lab and get shrunken to the size of ants! The adventures start with their imagination! Senior students (Yrs 7-12) can take on the horror genre and enter the Bloodfest Kids Horror Film Festival with their spooky short films, or take a deep dive into learning techniques for on-camera performance, sharpen up their vocal skills or explore the art of black comedy. And there’s plenty more to explore so check out the full workshop program on the website and we’ll see you in July!
