The Rainbow Fish Musical
Kids' Musical
Presented by Brisbane's Perform Australia's Kids Musical Theatre program.
Directed by Christie Eckersley
10th June, 2023
This musical features a variety of charming school and sea-creature characters who admire the famous Rainbow Fish, the most beautiful fish in the ocean. When Rainbow Fish refuses to share his vibrant, shimmering scales, the whole ocean seems to turn against the vain creature. Unhappy that no one adores him anymore, the Rainbow Fish seeks out the wise Octopus who helps the young fish learn that it's far better to be admired for being kind than for being beautiful.
Book, Music and Lyrics By Austin Zumero - based on the award winning children's book, 'The Rainbow Fish' by Marcus Pfister

Blabbermouth
By Mary Morris, adapted from the book by Morris Gleitzman. Directed by Caroline Simone O'Brien.
Presented by Perform Australia's Certificate IV in Acting Students
Rowena Batts has no voice, but she’s the world’s biggest blabbermouth. She’ just started at a new school so life’s a bit of a challenge – her new friend Amanda is pretty cool, but that Darryn Peck is a total pest. Rowena’s dad is an apple farmer and aspiring country and western signer – but he just can’t seem to pull his head in when he needs to. Her new teacher, Ms Dunning, seems to be taking a shine to him – maybe love is in the air…
