< Back CHILDREN'S THEATRE: Scaredy House - Counterpilot and Metro Arts 19 June 2024 Season: June 19th - 29th, 2024 Title: Scaredy House Presented By: Counterpilot Genre: Interactive Theatre for Young People Synopsis: Our story begins, as many often do, on a dark and stormy night... The house on the street is haunted. Ghosts hide in crevices, nooks, and crannies, biding their time – but are they really as scary as they seem? Join techno-trouble makers Counterpilot in Scaredy House – a new interactive haunting for young people aged 8-12 and their grown-ups. In this theatrical experiment, we will illuminate our fears, explore anxiety up close, and befriend the ghosts that haunt us every day. It’s time to flip the haunted house upside down, shed light in our own dim corners, and work together as we muddle our way through this existential twist on a classic tale. You’ve never heard a ghost story quite like this one...
