Get ready to leap and pirouette your way through this delightful tale of a tutu-loving kangaroo! Josephine Wants to Dance is coming to The Art House Wyong this August, and if you’ve got a little ballerina at home, this is one outing you won’t want to miss.
Based on the much-loved picture book by Aussie icons Jackie French and Bruce Whatley, Josephine Wants to Dance is a funny and heartwarming story about dreaming big, staying true to yourself, and dancing like no one’s watching – even if you’re a kangaroo.
Presented by Monkey Baa Theatre Company and brought to life with toe-tapping tunes, adorable costumes, and a whole lot of charm, this 50-minute show is ideal for kids aged 4–9 (and their grown-ups!).
The Art House is hosting four shows, but it's the 6pm performance on Wednesday 20th August that'll make for a wonderful family night out. It's the perfect post-dinner treat filled with music, movement and giggles – and we’re anticipating lots of pint-sized audience members in sparkles and tutus. The three daytime performances are open to school groups, plus some limited seating for families.
So grab your ballet shoes (or your sneakers – Josephine wouldn’t mind) and head to The Art House for a night of fun.
