Term 2: Hello Spaceboy!
PRIMARY - YEAR P TO 7
In this adventurous performance a young boy learns about the role of creativity in personal identity and relationships.
Max sits at home with nothing to do and like many other children he feels bored. Have their imaginations abandoned them?
Suddenly, there is a knock at his door from an Imaginaut who invites Max on an adventure into outer space and the depths of his imagination.
Does Max have the courage to face his fears and can he use his powers of creativity to make the world safe for people to dream again?
Inspired by King Arthur’s early childhood and life, Hello Spaceboy! uses this adventure to explore Max’s journey from Arthurian legends to Star Wars.
