Ninjas are cunning!
Ninjas are clever!
Ninjas know cool moves!
Miki is little and everyone always seems to forget she’s there. But when the villainous Hanzo comes to steal the Temple’s ancient scroll, Miki learns that maybe there is something good about being a ninja who can be invisible…
The Court is proud to present family-friendly entertainment on the mainstage every school holidays. All kids shows are recommended for children aged 3-7 and all tickets are just $10 for children and adults.
Relaxed performances are special shows for those with sensory needs. Lighting and sound are adjusted, capacity is reduced to allow for freer movement and there is a “chill-out” area in the foyer.
There will be a relaxed performance of The Littlest Ninja on Saturday 21st July. A relaxed performance pack can be downloaded here.

Press Reviews
"I always find it interesting that so few actors can engage such a large group of 3–7-year-olds, in such a big space for an entire 50 minutes. But it can't be just any show: children are smart, and the show has to entertain. The LIttlest Ninja, written by the Card Ninja himself – Javier Jarquin, is just that – captivating, entertaining and fun."
Kineta Booker
"The Court's contribution to KidsFest is a refreshingly original and colourful one. Ninjas are rare enough in Christchurch for this cheerful tale of 'the little ninja who could, to tickle the imagination of the target audience (ages 3-7) and well beyond."
Lindsay Clark
"The Littlest Ninja is a short play with big heart, presenting a significant message. It’s wonderful to see The Court Theatre return to brilliant form by presenting a quality original script for children, with outstanding actors and confident direction."
Ruth Agnew
"The Littlest Ninja is a perfect introduction to theatre for younger children. The relaxed performance meant anyone with a learning difficulty or sensory processing disorder was comfortable too."
