DATE SPECIFIC performance - February 21st, showings at both 10:00am and 12:00pm.
A Bee Story is a uniquely Australian physical theatre show for children and families incorporating a kaleidoscope of circus, acrobatics, dance, and live music.
It tells the story of Queen Bee and Worker Bee who must work together to rebuild their hive after it is destroyed by a bushfire. But things never quite go to plan…
Join the bees on their buzzy adventures and be enchanted by their pollen-collecting skills, honey-making abilities, and super-bee strength.  A Bee Story has themes of friendship, sustainability, and working together, and was directed by performer Robbie Curtis (Cirque du Soleil, Circa, Australian Ballet), and co-created with musician and performer Lizzie McRae.
Study guide will be distributed with booking.
