Where is the Green Sheep? is coming to the Sunshine Coast’s premiere performing arts centre for three baa-rilliant performances this March.
Following a sell-out world premiere at QPAC’s Out of the Box Festival, The Events Centre, Caloundra is delighted to present Monkey Baa Theatre Company’s much-anticipated stage adaptation of the Mem Fox classic picture book as part of its 2026 national tour.
Loved by millions of families for more than two decades, this enduring tale is transformed into an immersive visual theatre experience for children aged 1–6 and their families. Blending puppetry and animation, the show invites young audiences to join three farmers on their quest to find the elusive green sheep.
Along the way, young theatregoers will meet a parade of familiar favourites – Blue Sheep, who loves blue flowers; Red Sheep, who cartwheels through the fields; Bath Sheep, who adores bubbles; and Bed Sheep, who loves to bounce – yet still the question remains: where is that Green Sheep?
Co-created with students from Bankstown West Public School, this production features their voices as narrators, ensuring the story connects deeply with young audiences.
The stellar creative team is led by Artistic Director Eva Di Cesare.
“The fact that millions of children and their families are already connected to this story is really special. My hope is that through the shared live experience of watching it with their adults, they are left with lifelong memories of joy, laughter, whimsy and a deeper connection to Mem and Judy’s beautiful book,” she said.
Where is the Green Sheep? is a co-production between Monkey Baa and Queensland Performing Arts Centre’s Out of the Box Festival.
It features Where is the Green Sheep? illustrator Judy Horacek as Visual Art Director, alongside Production Designer Tobhiyah Stone Feller (Parramatta Girls), Composer Me-Lee Hay (White Pearl), Puppetry Director Kailah Cabanas (War Horse), Puppet Maker Kay Yasugi (The Vegetable Plot), Video Designer Susie Henderson (The Picture of Dorian Gray), Lighting Designer Matt Cox (Belong), Sound Designer Zac Saric (The Poison of Polygamy), and Choreographer Nat Jobe (Dusty).
It was created in association with Arts Centre Melbourne, the Sydney Opera House and The Art House, Wyong. This collaboration reflects a shared commitment to accessible theatre for young audiences and to celebrating Australian stories on our stages.
Where is the Green Sheep? will be on at The Events Centre, Caloundra at 4.30pm on Tuesday 24 March and 10am and 12.30pm on Wednesday 25 March.
