National Theatre for Children on tour again

Two new productions by Capital E National Theatre for Children are ready to start touring the country.

For young children, early years through to year 3, there is Shu’s Song, the story of a child’s world of discovery and imagination.

The show, written by Laura Gaudin & Rachel Callinan, provides an opportunity for children to explore drama and sound, to understand the concepts of what can be achieved when working together as a group, and to respond to live theatre.

For students in years 5-9, there is the show Hinepau, a mythological story based on the book Hinepau by Gavin Bishop.
It shares the message of staying true, standing strong, and fosters a love and respect for Aotearoa’s unique place in the world.

Both shows run for 45 minutes and tickets cost $9 per student with one free adult entry for every 10 children.

Educators can book online at www.capitale.org.nz
