What’s better than puppets telling a story? Put the books down and head along to the Nepean Creative Arts Centre to check out a show from The Rag & Bone Puppet Theatre Company.
The NCAC is a hub for local performing arts classes and an upcoming venue for local theatre. The move to the NCAC is an exciting one for Kathy MacLellan, co-founder of Rag & Bone. “We have been thrilled to team up with the NCAC for the shows! We were looking for a west-end location because many or our regular customers were coming to see us at Shenkman and GCTC, and were asking for shows closer to them.”
She continues: “We were amazed at what a nice facility it is, hosting such a thriving buzz of arts activity.”
Gather the kids, and escape from the house. Leave the cleaning behind and the dishes in the sink and have a day out. It’ a great way to introduce children to innovative theatre in a facility when they can become involved in music, arts and performances from as young as 18 months.
