MAGIC BEACH TAKES TO THE STAGE!

Our new show Magic Beach has opened its Australian tour with a successful season in Tamworth, marking our first live performances since March.

Over the last few months, we have been working closely with other industry members to develop and implement best practice safety measures in accordance with state, territory and national public health guidelines.

We look forward to welcoming audiences back to the theatre as Magic Beach continues on its inaugural Australian tour, and as more beloved shows including The 91-Storey Treehouse and The Gruffalo's Child make their return to the stage through 2020/21.
