Promising something for everyone, Summer @ The Art House will be a huge month of arts, entertainment and experiences including children’s favourites The Listies and The Owl’s Apprentice, and performances by singer David Campbell and a cabaret-style show with Send for Nellie.
Bigger, louder, and sillier than ever, The Listies will perform their new show Make Some Noise! as part of the Summer program on January 15 and 16.
One of the venue’s most highly requested children’s acts, Richard Higgins and Matthew Kelly are The Listies – as seen on ABC Kids – a comedy duo who are serious about being silly.
They’ve toured the world entertaining gazillions of kidults – that’s kids and their adults – including in Wyong, with their last show ROFL bringing fun and laughter to local families back in July.
This time around, The Listies will be dialling up the fun to an 11 with Make Some Noise! an insane mixtape of silly songs, stupid sketches, and crazy clowning.
As an extra special treat, The Art House will also throw its first ever Pyjama Party where The Listies will be the silliest PJ pals the littlies have ever had, with the audience encouraged to don their cosiest, comfiest and coolest PJs for the Monday evening show.
As well as a gorgeous voyage into the realm of shadow puppetry, The Owl’s Apprentice is about Australian animals and gaining wisdom.
Jenny Ellis, a puppeteer for more than 20 years, weaves the whole story together with a single set of hands, playing multiple characters at once.
Shadow puppetry workshops are also available, tailored for various ages.
Send For Nellie is an on-stage cabaret performance where the audience will be seated at tables on the stage.
Straight from the Sydney Festival 2024 to The Art House, the show recreates in song the amazing Nellie Small, a West-Indian Australian singer who in 1931 put on a top hat and tails at a little Oxford Street venue and became a legend of Australian vaudeville and cabaret.
As Nellie, powerhouse performer Elenoa Rokobaro steps into the spotlight with a swinging three-piece band and songs from the great era of jazz, blues and gospel.
Popular performer David Campbell hits The Art House stage for the first time with a rocking new show celebrating songs of soul, swing and the 1960s.
Good Lovin’ and More features a thundering collection of classic ’60’s soul.
