The balance of the fee is payable one week prior to the first day of the programme. No refunds are available for any reason that a child is unable to attend once booked, including sickness.

i thought i saw a Pussy Cat! is an interactive theatrical family experience that invites the audience to explore a playful world of feline friends, which makes for some ‘puss-some’ July School holiday entertainment!
Join Buster, Gus, Sally, Slinky and Tom in a 70 minute stage presentation, where the talented and energetic cast will delight and entertain both children and adults alike. The production includes a wide ranging selection of familiar and enjoyable Cat-centric stories, songs, and poems, while encouraging the audience to dance, play games, and even help create a Cat Band!
From start to finish, i thought i saw a Pussy Cat! has been assembled with a love and respect for all animals; and the promotion of their care and wellbeing.
To encourage this during the season, The Riccarton Players Theatre Group will be accepting donations of pet foods, toys, and accessories at each performance, which will be committed to aiding urban animal fostering programs within the Canterbury Region.
