Primary School Shows
Performances designed for Prep-Year 3 students, with positive messages, audience participation, a focus on reading and self-expression, and close alignment with the Victorian Curriculum
With a Carp Performance, the students aren’t just an audience, they’re a part of the show!
How our Primary School Shows operate
All Carp shows are adaptable to any indoor space, and require minimal set-up. They’re designed to be interactive and involving for all school audiences, while reinforcing positive messages. Our shows all include:
- A focus on stories and reading
- Fun characters who communicate directly with the audience
- Comedy, music and dancing
- A range of acting techniques, aimed at inspiring a love of drama
