--There will be a talkback for children at the end of the show. A talkback is when the audience is able to ask questions of the actors, director or other members of the creative team available. Notecards will be available at every seat to write your questions down throughout the shows. They will be collected after the show and we will select as many as we can fit into 15 minutes. Preference will be given to children's questions. --
