2007 School Theatre Program
Tickets are now on sale for the feature performance of our 2007 School Theatre Program:
Mr McGee and the Biting Flea by Pamela Allen
Presented by Patch Theatre Company
“A wonderful experience for children emphasising the magic of theatre… utterly adorable…”
Colin Rose, Sydney Sunday Herald
After its success with Who Sank the Boat?, Patch Theatre Company returns with another theatrical story-fest based
on Pamela Allen’s books.
Six whimsical stories by the award winning children’s writer are presented in this surprising, charming, funny and
frenetic production. The stories emerge from dozens of suitcases and crates as three curious warehouse workers
transform a storeroom into enchanting little miracles of music and play.
Mr McGee and The Biting Flea celebrates the possibilities of storytelling using the immediacy of theatre and the
potential of children’s imaginations.
