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 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 0-3 and filled with performance, puppetry and play ‘What’s In The Woods?’ is a gentle welcome to the world of theatre.

At What’s In The Woods?, the show transforms with the seasons. Each season features a brand-new story, with new decorations, themes, and sensory experiences. Spring, summer, autumn, and winter are all their own shows. Experience them all with our Four Seasons Package; four different shows for just $65 (+Booking Fee).
