Have you been to the CITY? Bright lights, traffic lights, so many people, so busy, big roads, big shops, fast cars, fast food, so many choices. What happens there? What adventures, mysteries, and surprises?
In 2009 Big Smoke artists collaborated with over 350 children from across the Riverland to contribute to the creation of an exciting new play for children. In 2010 RYT youth members worked alongside the creative team to bring the script to life in a dynamic, quality touring production. RYT partnered with TAFE SA and Riverland Libraries to provide a range of creative workshops alongside the production playing in major towns across the Riverland for school and community audiences.
