Unlike anything else you will see on the Australian stage, the young performers of the world-famous National Youth Circus, "the Fruities", are coming to Dubbo Regional Theatre during the April school holidays.
Aged from just nine to 19 their daring feats and skilful trickery will enchant and inspire young and old alike.
Directed by Jodie Farrugia, Circus Under My Bed will draw you into the imagination of a young girl spending a final night in her bedroom before moving away.
What follows is an enthralling mix of old-world circus, vaudeville and classic story-telling for young people and families. As the lights go out she dreams up a circus world of whimsical characters who help her face her fears and turn packing up into an adventure you won't want to end.
"Having seen the show at the Sydney Opera House I can say that this children's theatre production will make for great school holiday entertainment. The story line is also adaptable and I believe it could also be interpreted as a child having to pack and move between houses in a blended family," DRTCC manager Linda Christof said.
"It is pure and joyous entertainment for kids but also a good platform for parents to chat about overcoming fear of change."
A show that is suitable for peopled aged from 4-104. Tickets for Circus Under My Bed are on sale now from www.drtcc.com.au or the theatre box office on 6801 4378.
