It's Alive! -July school holidays 2022

This school holidays, bring the tamariki to see “It’s Alive!” a brand-new theatre show for the whole whānau. This fun and silly show, designed especially for tamariki aged 5-10, features science experiments live on stage, and gives kids the opportunity to directly influence the actor’s decisions and show storyline. 

The show follows two young wannabe scientists who try to do their Best Experiment Ever, only for it to go horribly wrong and accidentally create a puppet. Will the puppet be a friend, or will they cause chaos for the kids to clean up before mum gets home?
