Three vibrant and varied plays for children.
No Worries shows a family forced to the city by drought. This story of displaced children coming to terms with a new life has moved audiences.
The Small Poppies is a touching story about a traumatic experience many of us relate to: the first day of school.
Beauty and the Beast is the classic fairytale placed in an Australian context—an outsider is brought back into the fold.
