Teachers takes to the stage

A CHILDREN’S edutainment duo is set to take their show from screen to stage for the first time in Ballarat as part of a national tour.

ABC’s Pevan and Sarah will perform educational songs and material from their Cub Club remote learning platform at Founders Theatre in Mount Helen on Friday, 2 December.

One half of the duo, Sarah Kechayas said their local debut will offer children an added level of participation with the show compared to their online format.

“The idea is it’s a day in the life of a classroom with Pevan and Sarah. The people in the audience are going to see a lot of those songs and videos they know so well brought to life,” she said.

“It’ll be very interactive because that’s pretty much what Cub Club is, it’s the hook for many lessons and they’ll be able to sing along and participate.

“Teachers and students will be brought up on stage for a point but that audience interaction will be there throughout the show.

Like their online resources, the stage show will feature songs with an emphasis on literacy, mathematics and early social development.

Ms Kechayas said she’s excited to perform in Ballarat for the first time.

“We actually have a lot of subscribers in Ballarat and we’re totally stoked to play there. We have people coming from Halls Gap to see it and we’ve invited every school in the area,” she said.

“Being from Melbourne, rural Victoria is very high on our list so we’re very wrapped that Ballarat is coming out in force for us.

“We hope to make this an annual thing so we’re really excited to come to Ballarat.”

Tickets are $17 and can be booked at bit.ly/3KPcKpj.
