Cubbin Theatre Company is going global!

Our enchanting show, Up and Away, designed exclusively for babies, has been selected to perform at the prestigious ASSITEJ International festival in Marseille, France in March 2025.

ASSITEJ Bright Generations Festival is a gathering of international practitioners in theatre for young audiences, offering invaluable chances to exchange ideas, grow, and connect - Cubbin is the only company that has been selected to present a work from Oceania.

Whilst in Europe, we are also attending KLAP Festival in Denmark, the world’s largest festival for Theatre for Young Audiences, to experience 150 productions in one week! To see this amount of shows for our young audience will give us inspiration to take into the making of Cubbin’s new show in 2025 (More info coming soon!).

To make this dream a reality, Cubbin is raising funds to send the team —Melanie Luckman, Hannah Wheeler, and Amy Straker—to France and Denmark.

And we need your help!

Join us for a spectacular fundraising concert in the gorgeous Great Hall at 3pm on 23 February.

The concert will feature Cubbin’s very own Amy Straker, in her grownup folk music guise as AMY GRACE, with her band and special musical guests - of course, with some Cubbin tunes thrown in too!

Come along ready to take part in our raffle to win fun prizes and free tickets to events from our friends at the Isaac Theatre Royal, The Piano, Little Andromeda and more.

Cubbin’s vision is a world where high-quality art is as fundamental to early childhood as the playground—and just as accessible. Help us to continue this vision by joining us in February for a glorious afternoon of music and celebration!

The concert is for grown ups but children are welcome to attend. For our friends from afar that cannot attend but would still like to support us, please select a virtual ticket. Thanks to our friends at Te Matatiki Toi Ora for supporting the beautiful Great Hall. Ngā mihi nui for your support.
