Inspired by popular fantasy and science fiction stories from movies, books and TV shows, the show follows two children on a fascinating journey through time.
After finding an old board game called ‘Timelord’ in a hidden cupboard of their new home, the children meet a real Time Lord and go on an incredible adventure back in time.
Together they meet fantastic historical characters from Florence Nightingale to Beethoven, as well as a group of evacuees from the Second World War.
Bursting with catchy songs, fascinating characters and plenty of comedy, the show is ideal for kids of all ages and their families.
Led by director Camilla Ward and musical director Raelene Burn, the young performers are part of a popular program at Macquarie Conservatorium introducing children to the skills and thrills of music theatre.
“Our Youth Music Theatre Program gives children the chance to develop skills in singing, acting and movement, through fun training activities, and by rehearsing and performing in their own shows,” Ms Burn said.
“It’s an enjoyable and creative activity for kids,” Ms Ward said.
“The students really enjoy expressing themselves and working together with other kids on a big project. We do two productions a year, telling stories through music and drama, using physical theatre, and simple costumes and props.”
Timelord will play at the Macquarie Conservatorium on Sunday, August 28 at 4pm and Monday, August 29 at 6pm.
A Monday matinee performance, for school and pre-school groups, has already sold out.
