📝 About the Event
- What we will be doing: An exciting musical theatre workshop inspired by the world of Lilo & Stitch! Children will explore performance techniques, dance, physical theatre, island-style storytelling, and music. They’ll learn choreographed “Surf’s Up” and “Stitch-style” movements to create their own mini-production together. Every participant will receive an Ohana Certificate of Achievement!
- Is it structured? Yes, Kathleen will guide the group through themed creative activities and choreographed movement phrases in a supportive, relaxed environment.
- Who it’s for & Ability Range: Aimed at an ability range roughly between 6–11 years (though age alone won’t exclude anyone). Siblings are very welcome to join! If a child falls outside this ability range, we kindly ask that a parent or carer stays to support them 1:1.
- Social Story: You can download our Musical Theatre Social Story here to help prepare for your visit.

Important Booking Information:
Please note that our events are heavily subsidised by Little Hiccups to support our community. Because the charity covers the remaining costs based on our final confirmed numbers (such as venue hire, refreshments, entertainers and presenter costs), we kindly ask that you let us know if your plans change. If you can no longer make it, please cancel your places by emailing events@littlehiccups.co.uk so we can reallocate the spots and prevent charity funds from being lost.
