World Premiere
A wild, fun and magical journey to find that elusive green sheep
Where is the Green Sheep? is an immersive visual theatre experience based on the beloved children’s book by Mem Fox and Judy Horacek. We meet the Blue Sheep who loves his blue flowers and the Red Sheep who loves to cartwheel in the fields, the Bath Sheep who loves bubbles and the Bed Sheep who loves to bounce ... But where IS that Green Sheep?
Blending puppetry and animation, this beautiful production invites young audiences to join our three farmers on their quest to find the elusive green sheep. Co-created with students from Bankstown West Public School, this delightful production integrates their voices as narrators, ensuring the work resonates deeply with young audiences.
Where is the Green Sheep? is a co-production with QPAC’s Out of the Box in association with Arts Centre Melbourne, Sydney Opera House and The Art House, Wyong.
