A wild, fun and magical journey to find that elusive green sheep

Based on the book by Mem Fox and Judy Horacek
Written for the stage and directed by Eva Di Cesare

For the first time on the stage, Monkey Baa Theatre Company brings the theatrical adaptation of beloved Australian classic to life; Mem Fox’s and Judy Horacek’s Where is the Green Sheep?

Where is the Green Sheep? is an immersive visual theatre experience based on the beloved children’s book by Mem Fox and Judy Horacek. We meet Blue Sheep who loves his blue flowers and Red Sheep who loves to cartwheel in the fields, Bath Sheep who loves bubbles and Bed Sheep who loves to bounce... But where IS that Green Sheep?

Blending puppetry and animation, this beautiful production invites young audiences to join our three farmers on their quest to find the elusive green sheep. Co-created with students from Bankstown West Public School, this delightful production integrates their voices as narrators, ensuring the work resonates deeply with young audiences.

The million-copy bestseller
Winner of the CBCA Book of the Year - Early Childhood

Where is the Green Sheep? is a co-production with Queensland Performing Arts Centre’s Out of the Box Festival in association with Arts Centre Melbourne, Sydney Opera House and The Art House, Wyong.
