Musical Theatre Workshops for Kids – Lilo and Stitch – Ohana Island Adventure🎶

Does your child love to sing, dance, or act? Are they curious about musicals and live performances—or just keen to try something new?

Then this workshop is perfect for them! No previous experience is needed. In this exciting session, children will dive into the colourful world of musical theatre. They’ll learn performance techniques, build confidence, and take part in a fun, physical theatre piece choreographed by Kathleen—inspired by the playful, heart‑warming world of Lilo & Stitch.

🌟 Workshop Theme: Ohana Island Adventure

Step onto the beaches of Hawai‘i and explore the magic of this beloved story through:

  • Dance
  • Physical theatre
  • Island‑style storytelling
  • Music

Children will take part in creative, themed musical theatre activities, learn choreographed “Surf’s Up” and “Stitch‑style” movement phrases, and work together to create their own mini‑production!

🎓 Every participant will receive an Ohana Certificate of Achievement!

🌺 What NOT to Expect

  • Scary alien‑chase moments (we’re keeping everything friendly and fun!)
  • Unexpected loud bangs or pops
  • Real surfboards or ocean waves (we wish!)
  • Pressure to perform alone or do anything they’re uncomfortable with

💫 What Children Can Expect

  • A safe, supportive, and inclusive environment
  • Opportunities to share their own imaginative “experiment” ideas
  • A chance to try new skills and build stage confidence
  • Making new friends in a warm, tropical, ohana‑filled atmosphere

👧 Who is this for?

Our sessions are aimed at children with an ability range roughly between 6–11 years. However, we know that age doesn’t always reflect ability—so we won’t exclude anyone based on age alone.

If a child falls outside this ability range, we kindly ask that a parent or carer stay to support them 1:1.

Older children are also very welcome, though the content may feel a little young for some—it really depends on the individual child.

We want our workshops to be inclusive and accessible to all. Please use the comments box to let us know of any access needs or support requirements when booking so we can tailor the experience to suit each child.

👨‍👩‍👧 Parent & Carer Information

  • waiting area will be available next door for parents and carers.
  • Children who require 1:1 support are warmly welcome to attend with a parent or carer and join in the fun together.
  • You do not need to book for the adult but parents and carers must remain on site for the duration of the session, even if you are not aiding the child with 1:1.
  • Siblings are welcome too! Please make sure to book them on if they’d like to join.
