A Little Bit of Blue
2026-04-08 11:00 - 12:00 (Australia/Sydney) | Bathurst Memorial Entertainment Centre, 105 William Street, Bathurst, New South Wales, 2795, Australia
A Little Bit of Blue is an interactive detective story, told with puppetry. As well as unraveling a mystery, it involves learning about the extraordinary habits of the Australian Satin Bowerbird, and their fascination for the colour blue.

Jenny Ellis, a puppeteer of more than twenty years, weaves the whole mystery together, sometimes playing three characters at once. The children’s role is to help solve the case…

Join Little Wing Puppets and book into the Puppetry of Paper Workshop after the show to learn about making your own simple puppets from paper and bringing them to life!

Join us after the show for a post show workshop.

Event Notes: Recommended Age: 3 – 10 years
