Thank you to everyone who joined us for our "Chasing Your Dreams" drama workshop last weekend. 🎭🌟
Inspired by @monkeybaatheatreco`s multi award-winning production, participants aged 7 - 12 years old spent the morning enjoying the show and then took part in the workshop, which included a series of fun drama games and activities. Throughout the session they had the opportunity to create new characters, build scenes and take their characters on a journey to achieve their dreams.
👉 Q Theatre runs drama classes for ages 5 - 18 throughout the school term and each school holiday period. For more information please visit https://www.qtheatre.com.au/ or email creativelearning@penrith.city

Let’s travel down the rabbit hole… 🐇
Dug up a newspaper article from the second year of Flannofest that was hosted by Craig Anderson.
This festival has an important history within Q Theatre and the Penrith community. Katrina Doulgas said it perfectly in the article “the Q Theatre operates from the belief that young people can make theatre that is as important, relevant and engaging as professional theatre”
