Your child's first welcome to the world of theatre!

Be transported to a soft and cosy woodland, right out of a picture book, where each new season of stories is full of natural wonders waiting to be discovered by young, inquisitive minds. Enjoy an engaging and interactive story by the campfire before embarking on your own sensory exploration of the woods. Tailor made for audiences aged 0-1 and filled with performance, puppetry and play, What's In The Woods? is a gentle welcome to the world of theatre.

🌲 Each session is a brand new story

What's In The Woods? is a world with its own four seasons: Winter, Spring, Summer and Autumn; each a completely different show with its own story, decorations, themes and sensory experiences. Come to one, or collect them all with our Four Seasons Package at just $65 (+booking fee) for all four shows. That's four completely different experiences for less than the price of one family outing.
