What Should Your Child Do These School Holidays?
The September-October school holidays are just around the corner! At Play on Stage, we have a lot of exciting programs and events to keep your children creatively active and engaged during these holidays, so let’s dive straight into it!
The Playground in the Sky
Who says a playground has to be on the ground?
The critically-acclaimed The Playground in the Sky will be returning to Brisbane stages these school holidays!
Written by Harry Fritsch and directed by Virag Dombay, this Play on Stage Production will be showing at the Ron Hurley Theatre in Seven Hills on the first week of the school holidays - from September 22-25.
The Playground in the Sky tells a magical story set in Brisbane about a group of children overcoming the hardships of a recent flood by escaping to a floating playground above Mount Coot-tha. The story is filled with humour and heart, telling a quintessentially Brisbane story while showcasing some of the city’s most impressive young actors.
Perfect for the entire family and the ideal way to spend an afternoon these school holidays, you can book your tickets to The Playground in the Sky today!
