Parental supervision
Because our school holiday performances are public events, adult supervision is required for audience 15 years and under. Please book enough tickets for you and your child/children.
What if I can no longer make it to the performance?
Our school holiday program is extremely popular, we kindly ask that you only register if you are confident you can attend. We understand that at times, circumstances change unexpectedly. If you cannot attend and need to cancel your ticket(s), please inform us at artscentre@cbcity.nsw.gov.au as soon as possible so that we can offer your spot to someone on the waiting list.
Limited AT THE DOOR tickets will be released subject to availabilities.

For parents/guardians - drop off your child in the workshop classroom five mins before the commencement of class and pick up your child at the end of the workshop. We do not provide childminding after the class.
