Quest Theatre to Present HELLO FRIEND
Hello Friend will be popping up on October 22 & 29th at Art Park at cSPACE King Edward.
Quest Theatre will welcome audiences to come and discover the magic of theatre in their safe outdoor public performances of Hello Friend, a 15-minute play that uses theatrical masks, physical storytelling, and music to explore themes of resiliency, imagination, adaptability and friendship. Perfect for audiences of all ages, Hello Friend will be popping up on October 22 & 29th at Art Park at cSPACE King Edward.
Hello Friend is a short whimsical hunt for friendship as our hero encounters three fascinating characters on his journey - but will any of them match our youngster's capacity for imagination?
"Like many artists, we are longing to get back to live performance. We are excited that we can offer a safe outdoor experience to young people in schools and families in communities. We are experts at lifting spirits and we delight in doing so," said Nikki Loach, Quest Theatre's
Artistic Director.
"It is a revelation for us to be able to articulate the impact live theatre adventures can have on young people not just as bringing joy, sparking imaginations, or indeed living a creative life, but as promoting much needed support for children's health and wellness in our current
climate."
