family fun at the drum theatre, dandenong

18 Mar

If you’re looking for a fun day out with the kids, pop Drum Theatre on your list, they’ve got some seriously cute family-friendly shows lined up!

Kicking things off these school holidays is Trash with a Porpoise on Thursday 9 April at 11am — a fin-tastic show that will have everyone from tiny tots to big kids hooked. Expect a colourful cast of sea creatures, catchy songs, storytelling and plenty of laughs, all wrapped up with an important message about caring for our oceans.

Make a morning of it, because the fun starts before the curtain even rises. From 10am, a small group of mini ocean lovers can join a free pre-show workshop, helping create a coral reef installation in the foyer using recycled materials. Then after the show, stick around from 12pm for free craft stations where kids can add their own handmade sea creatures to the growing reef.

And if you’re planning ahead, there’s more excitement coming to Drum Theatre later this year, including Bluey’s Big Play The Stage Show (1 August), The Velveteen Rabbit (22 September) and Emma Memma’s Jungle Picnic Tour (28 September).

Mamma says: it’s the perfect mix of entertainment, creativity and just a little bit of learning — without the kids even realising.
