WILBUR THE OPTICAL WHALE – 16-17 April
When Wilbur gets teased by the Starfish Meanies for wearing his glasses, the whole undersea world gets turned upside down. Loaded with stunning circus tricks, puppets, digital and visual imagery and music, Wilbur and the Optical Whale is an interactive show where kids can collaborate and have fun.
The performance unpacks big ideas around friendship, bullying, and the strengths of being different, sparking the imagination of the young and young-at-heart. Performances daily at 10.30am & 1.30pm.
