Where is the Green Sheep?
6 – 9 November 2026
A Monkey Baa Theatre Company and QPAC’s Out of the Box co-production
Based on the book by Mem Fox and Judy Horacek
Written for the stage and directed by Eva Di Cesare
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 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 production integrates their voices as narrators, ensuring the work resonates deeply with young audiences.
Where is the Green Sheep? is a co-production with QPAC’s Out of the Box in association with Arts Centre Melbourne, The Sydney Opera House and The Art House, Wyong.
“Where is the Green Sheep? is a charming, clever and irresistibly woolly adventure that enchants tiny humans and big kids alike.” – Kitty Goodall ,Stage Whispers
“One of the cutest shows I’ve ever seen. But cuteness alone isn’t what makes it so successful—it’s the intelligence, intention and craft that underpins the whimsy.”– Kitty Goodall, Stage Whispers
“The puppets were really cool.” – Audience member (4 yrs), Out of the Box Festival
“The kids enjoyed every moment. There was something in it for everybody.” – Audience member, Out of the Box Festival
