The Art House in Wyong is back with its annual Summer@ The Art House program, the hub for live shows, kids’ activities, big names, and summer nights across January.
The program turns The Art House into a place to make memories over the summer holidays, to take a break from the heat, and to see some great names in Australian live entertainment.
The kids program includes something for all interests from magic to shadow puppetry, acrobatics and hilarious science experiments with water. The Quizzical Mr Jeff starts the series with a world of magic, illusion, and a giant 6-foot balloon for the kids that love to say ‘Wow!”. Next up the hilarious slapstick Splash Test Dummies return with their summer themed acrobatics show and an optional workshop for the kids who like to tumble, jump, flip, and roll. The following week sees a shadow puppet show Spike the Echidna (plus an optional puppet craft workshop) and Splish Splash Science for all the kids who ask “Why?” that plays with all things water (also has an optional hand-on science workshop). Families are encouraged to make a day of it and stay for the free outdoor extravaganza WAVERIDER which comes up from Sydney Festival and involves an interactive massive inflatable wave.
It’s not Summer@ The Art House without comedy and Aussie legend Dave Hughes brings his new show Cooked all about his experience getting flattened on a football field in the AFL Legends Charity Game, near-death experiences, family antics and daily mishaps. The famous Art House free sausage sizzle will take place in the courtyard pre-show with some free live music.
The Art House is thrilled to announce the comeback of the hugely popular On Stage Music Series which flips the theatre experience on its head with audiences seated at tables ON the stage! It’s become a crowd favourite over the years, and this time brings Michael Griffith Sings Peter Allen, and An Afternoon of Disney Tunes. These are unique music experiences from a unique vantage point looking out over the auditorium.
Lastly, the original four stars of the record-breaking musical Jersey Boys will reunite for an iconic night of music in Jersey Forever. Bobby Fox, Stephen Mahy, Scott Johnson and Glaston Toft join forces again for the first time in over a decade for the best of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons. Tickets include complimentary nibbles and live music pre-show.
Audiences can expect bonus summer surprises such as free kids craft activities, giant lawn games, bar and café specials and some eye-popping decorations to brighten the happy holiday snaps!
