The Court Theatre Presents WHY ARE MY PARENTS SO BORING?, Now thru July 14

Kids these school holidays will finally get an answer to the age-old question in The Court Theatre's new family show: WHY ARE MY PARENTS SO BORING?

Writer and director Dan Bain, creator of A PAINTBOX OF CLOWNS and HANSEL AND GRETEL (and director of The Court's last holiday hit RAPUNZEL), has filled his latest show with mime and physical comedy in a play that unfolds in the style of a silent movie.

WHY ARE MY PARENTS SO BORING follows the hilarious consequences when a mischievous youngster (Laura Daniel) sets out to teach her parents (David Ladderman and Kathleen Burns) to have fun while she is at home during the school holidays.

Bain describes WHY ARE MY PARENTS SO BORING as "a play about playing - taking ordinary or boring things and turning them into something magical through the power of imagination."

WHY ARE MY PARENTS SO BORING runs for a limited season from today, 4 through 14 July with shows at 11am & 1pm weekdays and 11am Saturdays. Recommended for ages 3+, all tickets $9.

Cast includes Kathleen Burns, Laura Daniel and David Ladderman. Performances: 4-14 July 2012

Show times: 11am & 1pm Monday-Friday, 11am only Saturday. Venue: The Court Theatre, Bernard St, Addington. Tickets are $9. Bookings: 03 963 0870 or www.courttheatre.org.nz.
