For all child thespians who want to geeze some damn good theatre during the July school holidays, swoon no more. The Australian Chamber Orchestra is putting on a sumptuous production of There’s a Sea in My Bedroom at their brand-spankin’ new theatre at Pier 2/3 at Walsh Bay Arts Precinct, and everybody (no matter how small) is invited.
From Wednesday, July 13 to Sunday, July 17, Margaret Wild’s much-beloved classic book about a little boy trying to overcome his fear of the sea is being brought to life through a beautiful marriage of live music, movement and immersive lighting that all acts together to transport any viewer into a rich fantasy world. Starring young actor Jack Richardson, who will perform alongside five musicians from the ACO, this play is bound to delight kids and adults alike with it's whimsy, sound and soothing sea magic.
This production will run at Walsh Bay during the July school holidays, and will show on Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday at 10.30am and noon, and Friday and Saturday at 10.30am, noon and 2pm. Once finished at Walsh Bay, theatrical fans will still be able to get in on the majestical action at the Riverside Theatre in Parramatta and the Concourse in Chatswood, as well as a number of other venues that you can check out on the ACO website.
