Something on Saturday (SOS) is returning to the Adelaide Festival Centre and KIDDO Mag is bringing you an exclusive first look at the 2018 program!
Once again, this year’s SOS program promises to bring awesome winter fun for 1 to 12 year olds. Every Saturday at Adelaide Festival Centre you can enjoy fabulous live performances for kids from just $12. Plus, all shows are followed by a FREE Foundation Kids Corner Workshop. It’s time to get crafty!
Foundation Kids Corner Workshops at Something on Saturday are funded by the Adelaide Festival Centre Foundation. The Foundation raises funds for projects that inspire young people through the arts. For this reason workshops are free.
KIDDO’s Top Program picks:
GRUG AND THE RAINBOW
Presented by Windmill Theatre Co

Grug began his life as the top of a Burrawang tree that fell to the ground. Fascinated by the world around him and full of determination, Grug embarks on an epic journey to reach the rainbow that always seems just beyond his grasp. Featuring exquisite puppetry, plenty of surprises and more of the gentle storytelling that has delighted audiences around the world, this show has been especially created for the littlest theatregoers (and Grug fans of all ages).
