Primary school programming will return in 2028. In the meantime, we encourage families and vacation-care groups to explore our Staycation shows during the school holidays, with performances created especially for young people and their families.
 

Older students can engage with powerful Australian stories — Things I Know to Be True, Trophy Boys and Saplings. Further offerings include Bell Shakespeare’s thrilling Macbeth, re:group’s inventive, tech-driven POV and local dance company, DRILL Performance Company Inc., with their new work, Deep Dark Tales. Each production offers rich opportunities for learning, creativity and conversation both in and beyond the classroom.

Each show performance includes an optional 20-minute post-show Q&A with the show’s cast and/or creative team.
