Theatre in Education
The Story of Rilee
Inspiring young minds through performance, live action and audience participation.
Here's Molly to tell you more...
“Welcome to the Bridge Classic Cars Kids education tour, an immersive theatrical production and interactive workshop on automotive history and the importance of a sustainable future.
Our Theatre in Education workshop blends the power of live theatre with hands-on learning to help children explore two vital themes: a sustainable future and the importance of our past.
Through a multi-sensory and interactive live performance, children are introduced to Rilee, a 1905 vintage car with a unique story to tell.
Although 120 years old, through the use of modern technology and skilled craftsmanship, Rilee lives comfortably in our modern world. Along with friends, Eco and Luxy, Rilee takes the audience on a journey that connects stories from history with the important life lessons of today.
Children will discover how the choices of the past shape our present, and how the choices they make now can build a more sustainable future.”
