Travel back in time to learn about dinosaurs

Learn about the ancient world of dinosaurs at the Wyndham Cultural Centre these school holidays.

Dinosaur Time Machine will teach youngsters about the science of dinosaurs through puppetry, theatre and circus.

This fun and educational show is aimed at children aged three to nine years old and features a life-sized T-Rex.

Two shows will be held at 11am and 1pm, running for 50 minutes each. Plus, there will be a hands-on workshop at 2.30pm – sign up for this on the day after the second performance.

Make sure you also check out a special visitor who will takeover the forecourt of thecCentre… a breathtaking 10-metre inflatable plesiosaur, by artists A Blank Canvas.

Dinosaur Time Machine is among the shows gracing the stage of the refreshed cultural centre throughout July.

The centre was temporarily closed late last year for refurbishment and maintenance works to the building with a new modern bar, foyer and amenities, upgrades to seating and improvements to the theatre including a hearing loop and new audio-visual equipment as well as refurbished dressing rooms and back of house facilities for performers.

Powerhouse bands King Stingray and Electric Fields will be the first to experience the revamped centre, taking to the stage on Saturday, July 5 t 7pm.

The Melbourne Chamber Orchestra will mesmerise and enchant audiences with performances including the Australian debut of a forgotten concerto and

string orchestra highlights on Saturday, July 12 at 7.30pm.

Essence Theatre Productions and Ngā Mātai Pūrua Inc will bring audiences a new work inspired by events at Port Phillip Prison on July 26 and 27.

Wyndham mayor Mia Shaw said, “The opening program kicks off in July and is full of entertaining and diverse shows and performances. There is something for everyone”.
