PARENTS and pre-schoolers are being invited to a free outdoor family event these school holidays, courtesy of the Stratford Courthouse Theatre: a performance by the one and only Super Jenny! Jenny loves mermaids, eating cake, dancing, learning new things from her best friend Ned, and her favourite colour is blue. But Jenny has a secret… she is really Super Jenny! Jenny’s Nanny told her that a superhero is someone who helps others, and Jenny helps her friends and family all the time, which makes her Super Jenny. But sometimes, even superheroes need help. Presented by Melbourne’s renowned La Mama Theatre, Super Jenny is an engaging, fun and educational performance aimed at pre-school children, incorporating fine and gross motor skills, Auslan sign language, shape recognition, singing, dancing and musical terms. The show encourages creativity, imaginative play and cognitive learning that goes handin-hand to enhance all children’s physical and intellectual development.

Super Jenny will appear at the Stratford Courthouse Theatre on Friday, April 22 at 10.30am and again at 1.30pm. Those attending are advised to meet outside the Segue Café on Tyers Street prior to the show commencing. Bookings for the show can be made at stratfordcourthouse.com.au.
