Bunjil has a bunch of family-friendly shows on the way this autumn.
The 13-Storey Treehouse will come to life on stage on Sunday 3 April at 2.30pm and Monday 4 April 10.30am, following sold-out seasons at the Sydney Opera House and theatres across the country.
The play is based on Andy Griffiths’ and Terry Denton’s best-selling book – except they forgot to write it!
Where will they find flying cats, a mermaid, a sea monster, an invasion of monkeys, and a giant gorilla?
The 60-minute show is perfect for kids aged 6 to 12 years. All tickets are $16.
A clown and her faithful dog yearn for a summer getaway, so they decide to create it in the Bunjil Place Plaza at 11am and 3pm daily from Sunday 10 to Thursday 14 April.
With the help of the families on site, they will build an imaginary world of play, relaxation and togetherness.
Holiday Island is crafted specifically for the Bunjil Place Plaza.
Like a silent film, the stage action is captured via a live camera feed onto the large screen.
Using colourful props and a humorous twist, the performers show their imagination on screen while simultaneously interacting live with the audience.
It’s recommended for ages 3 years and up and costs $5 per person.
Girls With Altitude will swing into the theatre on Saturday 23 April at 7.30pm
From the environment to equality, the world-famous Flying Fruit Fly Circus will propose new perspectives on the future using youthful energy and high-level circus skills.
The superheroes of tomorrow are female and are changing the world!
Modern day role models like Greta Thunberg and Jacinda Ardern are inspiring a whole new generation of young people who want to make a difference.
The 70-minute show combines the cartoons of Australian artist Judy Horacek, with the world-class skills of the young artists of the Flying Fruit Fly Circus.
Tickets are $20 for adults, $16 for pensioners, seniors and students, and $15 for groups of four or more.
Teeny Tiny Stevies will hit the stage at 11am on Sunday 8 May.
The 45-minute A Thoughtful Tour show will feature songs from the group’s 2020 ARIA Award-winning album ‘Thoughtful Songs For Little People’.
Tickets are on sale from Thursday 1 July at 10am and cost $40.
On Wednesday 11 May, at 10am and noon, join the enchanting adventure of Little and Big Nutbrown Hare as they discover the magic and colour of the seasons, in a new stage adaptation of Sam McBratney’s beloved ‘Guess How Much I Love You’ books.
The playful story of love and nature unfolds on stage with puppetry, music and laughter for children aged 3 years and up. Tickets are $16 each.
Bunjil Place is at 2 Patrick NE Drive, Narre Warre.
Prams are not permitted inside the theatre. Children aged under 2 years can attend free of charge if seated on their carer’s lap.
