Possum Magic

Possum Magic, the much-loved children's book by Australian author Mem Fox, comes to magical life on stage at the Brisbane Powerhouse this winter school holiday for 5 shows only from June 29 to July 1.

The stage adaptation of Possum Magic, performed in celebration its 40th birthday this year, is by the extraordinary team at Monkey Baa, Australia's leading professional theatre company for young audiences.

The iconic picture book has captivated young children for generations, and this enchanting stage production is guaranteed to mesmerise children and adults alike.

Grandma Poss loves making magic. She makes wombats blue and kookaburras pink. She makes dingoes smile and emus shrink. But one day, when danger arrives, Grandma uses her most magical spell to make Hush invisible.

Hush has many wonderful adventures, but being invisible isn’t all it’s cracked up to be and Hush longs to see herself again. Possum Magic takes us on a whimsical journey to cities around Australia to find the food that makes Hush visible again.

So pack enough Vegemite sandwiches and lamingtons for all and be enchanted by this theatrical bush bewitchment that celebrates the unique flora and fauna of Australia and its culture.

Need to know - Ideal for ages 3-8 years old, Possum Magic is the perfect introduction to theatre for young audiences. Tickets for this show will sell quickly so book now!

*Friday 30th June 10am performance is Auslan interpreted as part of Flex.
