Get a team together and join the fun as Tantrum presents TREASURE HUNT on Sunday the 3rd April, the second production in their 35th anniversary year.

This new performance work follows on from the success of the inaugural 2010 event and will see teams of audience members search the inner city for clues to a hidden treasure, inviting them to participate in exciting challenges along the way.

Rain, hail, or shine participants are encouraged to walk rather than ride bikes or scooters as speed will not be an advantage in this race.

In a bold new approach to performance, members of the 15-17 year old Tantrum workshop groups are devising site-related works that are sure to surprise audiences as they explore a variety of locations in Newcastle’s CBD.

Workshop tutors Rachel Jackett (Tantrum’s Associate Director) and Penelope Kentish are directing the event in collaboration with the students and Penelope said audiences can expect a morning of "outlandish fun."

Rachel said, "The exciting thing about an event like Treasure Hunt is that it moves performance from a conventional theatre setting and activates our city’s public spaces in a fun and challenging way!"

Prizes will be awarded to the winning team.

WHEN: 10am Sunday 3rd April.

COST: $5 per participant (under 5 year olds free).

PLACE: Somewhere in the Newcastle CBD! Check the Tantrum website in coming weeks.
