Suggested Itineraries

What can my students do at Capital E?

Along with regular events, workshops and theatre productions, Capital E provides curriculum-linked programmes for children aged 3 to 17 years. All school programmes are supported by teacher resource materials for use in the classroom before and after your Capital E experience.

The OnTV Studio and the SoundHouse programmes are suitable for Year 3+ and are led by experienced teachers. You can book in for a whole day or come over two days to experience these.

The Capital E National Theatre for Children produces productions suitable for Early Childhood level up to Year 8 (age 12 years). In 2008 we have two productions: Kiwi Moon for Early Childhood up to Year 3 and Hinepau for Year 4 to Year 8 students.

Capital E is also excited to present ‘Special FX’ – Secrets behind the screen, suitable for Year 3 to Year 8 students.
