At Glen Street Theatre we welcome student groups and excursions to come and experience the magic of a live theatre performance. For many children, coming to Glen Street Theatre may be their first experience of the performing arts, and is a wonderful introduction to dramatic elements, story and narrative, music, and personal expression. A trip to the theatre exposes students to new ideas, inspires their creativity and challenges them to think critically. It can also be a tool for cultivating important life skills in young people such as empathy and confidence.  

We are proud to present a variety of shows in our program that cater to the very young all the way through to high school-aged students – with strong links to curriculum to enhance learning outcomes.

A mouse took a stroll through the deep, dark wood...

After sell-out seasons across the world, including London’s West End & Broadway, The Gruffalo returns to Australia! Join Mouse on a daring adventure through the deep, dark wood in this magical, musical adaptation of the classic picture book by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler. Searching for hazelnuts, Mouse meets the cunning Fox, the eccentric old Owl and the party mad Snake. Will the story of the terrifying Gruffalo save Mouse from ending up as dinner for these hungry woodland creatures? After all, there’s no such thing as a Gruffalo – is there?
