ivy for wellingtonista

It’s school hol­i­days again, and if you’re in charge of young people, chances are you’ve already heard that “I’m boooooooooooooooooooooooored”. We’d like to help you out with that (not just because it’s also in the best interests of the non-child-havers to keep kids occu­pied, hon­est)!

So, we’re giv­ing away a fam­ily pass (four people) to Cap­it­al E Nation­al Theatre for Chil­dren’s Ivy Saviour of the Dino­saur for Monday July 22, at 1pm at Down­stage Theatre.

Ivy is a museum clean­er by day, but by night, she’s a pale­on­to­lo­gist and her clean­ing cart becomes a time machine. The show is cre­ated for ages 5–14, but adults will enjoy it too, because it’s no pan­to­mime style “look out behind you” cringe fest. Instead, it’s an intel­li­gent romp through his­tory. From a clash with Cleo­patra to schmooz­ing with Shakespeare, and even a detour to the moon – our quirky queen of clean lets noth­ing dis­tract her from her mis­sion to save the dino­saurs from cer­tain extinc­tion. Watch cre­at­or Jen­nifer Mar­tin tell you more:

Okay, so how do you win? Let’s make this real simple. Leave us a com­ment, and tell us that you want to win. That’s all you gotta do! We’ll draw one at ran­dom at 4pm tomor­row and be in touch. Of course,  if you don’t win, you can still book tick­ets through Cap­it­al E or Down­stage Theatre.
