Audition for our new summer Children’s Show

FOREST FAIRY AND FRIENDS

Maru Koala and Animal Park are excited to introduce the debut of our summer children’s show!
This show follows along the story of Fern the Forest Fairy who helps her friends, Kaia/Kai Koala and Giddy the Growling Grass Frog, both of which are facing pressing threats to their environment. Along with some magical helpers, the forest fairy works to find the koala and frog a home, whilst learning about the special role both play in their environment.

We are currently seeking local children to be in the play that will run daily from the 21st of December to the 26th of January (excluding Christmas Day as Maru will be closed).
