Crash Bash 2024 'Bad Habits’
The 2024 performance Bad Habits toured schools in the Canterbury region during February and March 2024. The Court Theatre produced and toured the performance to more than 8,000 secondary school students in years 11 to 13.
The theme for Bad Habits focused on being aware of the distractions on the road and not developing habits that can be dangerous. This includes mobile phone use, cutting corners and navigating intersections.
