It’s a much-loved children’s story that many generations have grown up with and now, Possum Magic is set to come to life when it hits our Bundaberg stage.
Bundaberg Regional Council Community and Cultural portfolio spokesperson Cr Judy Peters said the Australian classic will be showcased at the Moncrieff Entertainment Centre in August, thanks to the creative works of Monkey Baa Theatre Company.
“For over 30 years Mem Fox’s Possum Magic has captivated and enchanted young people,” Cr Peters said.
“Thanks to the creative geniuses at Monkey Baa theatre touring company, it will now grace our stage at the Moncrieff Entertainment Centre for all to enjoy.
The brand-new stage adaptation of this magical Australian classic follows the story of Grandma Poss who uses her best bush magic to make little Hush invisible.
