Where is the Green Sheep?

Where is the Green Sheep? is an immersive visual-theatre adaptation of the beloved children's book by Mem Fox and Judy Horacek. Blending puppetry and animation, three farmers introduce Blue Sheep, Red Sheep, Bath Sheep and Bed Sheep while inviting young audiences to help find the elusive green sheep. The 45-minute production was co-created with students from Bankstown West Public School and incorporates their voices as narrators. It is a Monkey Baa Theatre Company and QPAC Out of the Box co-production presented with Arts Centre Melbourne, Sydney Opera House and The Art House, Wyong.
