Lights Up is designed to illuminate the performing arts in primary schools in the Inner West, by inviting kids to join us at Flight Path Theatre as an audience member, a participant and a performer.
Lights up Kids Fest will be a vibrant showcase of creativity, imagination, and talent, aimed at enriching the lives of children and families in our community. Throughout the festival, attendees will have the opportunity to participate in a variety of engaging events and performances.
Especially on Birthdays: A physical theatre spectacular presented by Flight Path Theatre & Shinyheart Productions
Never before seen in NSW, Especially on Birthdays is a unique blend of performance, games, and celebration, offering audiences a glimpse into the world of two twins as they navigate the excitement and trepidation of a sixth birthday, created by The PaperBoats with a score by Disney’s Mulan music director, Matthew Wilder. Executive Director of Theatre for Young Audiences/USA, Johnathan S Chapman, aptly describes it as, "captivating beauty and energy." It promises to be a memorable experience for children and adults alike.
Show: 43 minutes
