Juggling show for pre-schoolers

A juggling show for pre-schoolers will be held at the Peninsula Theatre at the end of this month.

Juggler Llynda will present two shows, Street Sense and You Can Do it To, which incorporate her juggling routines with lessons on safety and confidence building.

The first show is suited to pre-schoolers and primary school children, according to Laycock St Theatre marketing manager Ms Lisa Kelly.

Punctuated throughout with circus-style routines, it introduces concepts of road safety, pedestrian safety, safety on wheels, driveway safety, and playing in a safe environment.

"As well as being informative about important safety issues, Street Sense is highly entertaining," Ms Kelly said.

"There is lots of audience participation, involving the wearing of seat belts, choosing the right helmet for head protection, and student demonstrations of safe pedestrian practice.

"There is time for fun in the park where children are once again asked to participate, this time with some ball games.

"Finally, Llynda performs a traditional circus juggling act which will amaze adults and children alike."

Street Sense will show on January 23, 25 and 28.

The show commences at 10am and is followed by a juggling workshop.

In "You Can Do It Too", Llynda plays Madeleine, a closet juggler, who discovers through her juggling that mistakes are okay, as that is how we learn.

"Madeleine is having one of those days where nothing is going right, even her son Sam is having difficulties at school," Ms Kelly said.

"When Madeleine feels at her lowest, she is presented with the opportunity to join the circus.

"Llynda's juggling routines include juggling plates, golf sticks, tennis racquets, feather dusters, video tapes, cups and saucers which are balanced on her head, fruit, a broom and eggs."

This show is on January 24 and 27 and commences at 10am with a juggling workshop at the end.

Tickets are $10 each and one adult per group of children (or individual child) gets in for free.

Bookings are recommended on 4323 3233.

The Peninsula Theatre is located on the corner of McMasters and Ocean Beach Rd's, Woy Woy.
