Monkey Baa Theatre Company has toured the show all over Australia with sell out performances wherever it has gone.
Now they are bringing Where is the Green Sheep? to families in Sydney’s West on Friday 17 and Saturday 18 July.
Where is the Green Sheep? is an immersive visual theatre experience based on the beloved book by Mem Fox & Judy Horacek, adapted for the stage and directed by Eva Di Cesare.
Audiences meet Blue Sheep who loves blue flowers and Red Sheep who cartwheels in the fields, Bath Sheep who loves bubbles and Bed Sheep who loves to bounce. But where is that Green Sheep?
Directed and adapted by Monkey Baa’s Artistic Director Eva Di Cesare, and blending puppetry and animation, the production invites young audiences to join three farmers on a playful and surprising quest to find the elusive green sheep.
Co-created with students from Bankstown West Public School, the show integrates their voices as narrators so the world they know is reflected on stage.
As families think more about time online, many parents are seeking real-life moments that help young people feel present and connected. This production creates that space.
Young people sit with their families, watch characters appear in front of them, listen to real voices and respond in the moment. It offers an experience that cannot be replicated on a screen and creates shared memories that last.
And it’s coming to Western Sydney.
Judy Horacek, co-creator of the original book and member of the creative team, says: “From the first tiny green sheep I drew years ago, to making the book with Mem with its beloved flock of quirky sheep, to me being part of the team bringing the book to the stage, has been an incredible experience. We've created a play that is very true to the book, but at the same time full of wonderful new surprises - it's impossible not to adore it!”
