Geelong children’s theatre group Theatre 3triple2 4 Kids returns to the Potato Shed for the second half of the school holidays with its popular original work 321… Blast Off!
The troupe will perform the show at 10.30am and 1.30am daily from Monday, September 25 to Thursday, September 28.
321… Blast Off! follows the adventures of Captain James Link and Flight Engineer Luna Tik as they fly their first mission, saving planets and learning along the way.
Director Cait Reynolds said ostensibly the show was aimed at children, 321… Blast Off! included fun for the whole family.
“There are some jokes for the parents, there are catchy original songs for the kids to sing along to… it’s for ages zero to 100,” she said.
“There are heaps of fun things to do and fun things to learn as well.
“Honestly, I think it’s one of the best shows we put on. We get great reviews every time we do it, and our cast members have been leaving rehearsals singing the songs, so I think that’s a good sign.”
The show runs for around 50 minutes, but Ms Reynolds said the experience was more than just sitting quietly and watching a play.
“We’re huge on audience interaction; there are plenty of chances for the kids to get up and participate on stage as well,” she said.
“We also have an education room, so before and after the show the kids can go in and learn a little bit more about space. There are costumes and heaps of activities they can do.
“We’ve really tried to make it an educational experience. We’re huge on making sure the kids come away learning something from the show.”
