After sell-out seasons in 2018 and 2021, KidzStuff bring you back the magnificent Witch of ages!
Who has Lucy the cow? What are Tim and Rose going to do? Do Appletrees become policemen? Badjelly the Witch has all these answers and more in this wonderful, chaotic, classic tale of silliness and fun. Packed with quirky characters, big and small, crazy coincidences and we can't forget Badjelly herself. Woven with KidzStuff's awesome tradition of audience interaction, Badjelly is just what you need to stretch those legs and laughing muscles these school holidays.
So, get out your broomsticks and come and join Tim and Rose on their quest to find Lucy the cow!

Party Pigs
September School Holidays

Surprise – it’s one little piggy’s birthday!
Party Pigs! is a delightful puppetry story set around the excitement and anticipation
of a child’s birthday party – piggy style!
After accidentally spoiling one little piggy’s birthday, nine little piggies decide to throw
a surprise party for their friend. Working together, the excitement builds until they just can’t wait any longer.
This joyous family friendly play reflects a world of fun and games, whether real or imaginary, and reminds us as adults not to take life too
seriously.
