Listen up budding theatre buffs! The year-end holidays may be fast approaching with a whole host of exciting activities, camps and festivities. But don’t let the post-holiday blues get you down; there’s plenty to look forward to with the return of KidsFest – a world-class children’s theatre festival – in January 2016.
After last year’s smashing success of KidsFest, this year’s edition of Singapore’s best-loved children’s festival is set to launch your kids into another incredible theatrical adventure. Featuring flawless stage adaptations of six well-loved children’s books, the festival includes four new productions and the return of popular classics guaranteed to put grins of delight on your little one’s face.
NEW AT KIDSFEST 2016
Direct from the UK, KidsFest 2016 presents live theatre at its very best. Catch the reworked, classic fairy tale of Little Red Riding Hood and be inspired by her bravery and be moved to joyous tears as a lonely couple’s wish for a child comes true in the enchanting story of the Snow Child.
If your child has a fascination for mystical elements, travel into an imagined world in I Believe in Unicorns where these magical beings exist in the most surprising of places – the enchanting library brimming with books that hold far more than fascinating stories within its pages. For barrels of rib-tickling laughter, journey into space in Michael Morpugo’s Aliens Love Underpants and discover why aliens have taken a baffling fancy for the unmentionables.
RETURN OF THE FEEL-GOOD CLASSICS
Don’t miss the return of Julia Donaldson’s The Gruffalo at the opening of KidsFest 2016 – this classic mainstay of the festival since 2013 is the perfect way for parents to kick off theatre-going for the kids! Watch as the quick-witted Mouse outsmarts the fox, Snake and Owl with his tale of an imaginary creature called The Gruffalo and bob along in your seats as the infectious music, song and dance accompanies this delightful, award-winning story.
Also catch Room on the Broom – another favourite by Julia Donaldson –, which will take you on a mesmerizing adventure on a broomstick. Make sure to hang tight – it’s bound to be an exhilarating ride (careful of the fire-spitting dragon!)
Past editions of the festival have proven to be wildly popular with families, so nab those tickets from Sistic fast!
