It’s a sticky situation. Queen Bee & Worker Bee need to work together to rebuild their hive, but things never quite go to plan...

A Bee Story is a uniquely Australian physical theatre show for children and families incorporating a kaleidoscope of circus, acrobatics, dance and live music. It tells the story of Queen Bee and Worker Bee who must work together to rebuild their hive after being destroyed by a bushfire. But things never quite go to plan…

“The BEST kids show I have ever seen.” Parent

Join the bees on their buzzy adventures and be enchanted by their pollen-collecting skills, honey-making abilities, and super-bee strength. A Bee Story has themes of environmentalism, sustainability, and community spirit,  and was directed by performer Robbie Curtis (Circa, Cirque du Soleil, Circus Oz, Australian Ballet), and co-created with musician and performer Lizzie McRae.

“A Bee Story is everything you would want in a children’s show. it is charming. it is lovely. It is magical.” Get your coats on
