THE ORIGINAL SILENT SHOW FOR LOUD CHILDREN RETURNS

The original silent show for loud children returns! Red is brave. Blue is smart. And Green is hungry! Join this mischievous, inquisitive and naughty trio as they go on a great adventure. Filled with slapstick, clowning and physical comedy, A Paintbox of Clowns will entertain and enchant all ages without the stars saying a single word. Red! Blue! Green!

Get ready to meet New Zealand’s silliest clowns in The Court Theatre’s silent children’s show, A Paintbox of Clowns.

Writer and director Dan Bain has created a trio of silly and silent clowns to entertain all types of children in this interactive play where you’re likely to find the kids telling the clowns what to do.

“You’ll never get the experience that you’ll get from this show from the television.”

Red, Blue and Green will be clowning around at The Court Theatre from 16 – 28 April 2018, with a relaxed performance of the show being hosted on 28th April, 11am. All tickets are $10.


Published by The Court Theatre

Hidden in Christchurch’s suburb of Addington is New Zealand’s largest theatre company. In its post-earthquake refuge – an old grain shed – is a magical world of happiness, laughter, drama and intrigue.

The Court has matched the ever-diversifying Christchurch population and creates and supports work for everyone in our community including children and families, for the Tangata Whenua and for Christchurch’s growing Pasifika communities.

The Court has something for everyone. It has something for those who want their entertainment king-sized and world class, for those who want to sit back and enjoy a good laugh, and for those who want theatre to challenge, to spark debate and to stay in their mind long after the show has finished. The Court creates, and helps create, work for all the people of Ōtautahi.
