CHILDREN’S THEATRE FOR 5-11 YEARS

The amazing Cats Grin Theatre Company bring us an introduction to live performance in the form of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.

Why is theatre so important for children:

Imagination

Theatre comes in many forms, from the weird and wonderful to the real and relatable. Engaging young people with theatre from an early age can stimulate their own creativity and open their minds exponentially to the endless possibilities of life.

Education

From HAMILTON to EVITA, SIX to COME FROM AWAY, the world of the modern musical is not far off a history lesson. So why not give your child a head-start in school with a trip to Arts4All.

Communication

Remember, words have power and communication is key - theatre is all about just that. Theatre creatives make clever use of script and lyrics to connect with their audience.  Experiencing theatre can help children understand the variety of relationship dynamics ahead of them, how to communicate with others, have empathy and to express their own emotions.

Escapism

In the words of Annie, "It’s a hard knock life." This sentiment holds true for children even in 2022. More and more we see issues of stress and anxiety among our young people. Theatre can provide a means of escape for young people, a safe space where they can pause and give in to imagination and play.
