We did it!🎊

Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, we have not only reached our $50,000 Creative Australia Plus1 goal, we have exceeded it, raising $54,550 for Theatre Unlimited.

Your support helps us remove barriers and open more theatre seats for children and families who might otherwise miss out, especially those in remote and regional communities.🎭

And there is still time to give this EOFY. Your tax deductible donation can continue to help more young people access the joy, imagination and connection of live theatre.

A seat for every dreamer.

Mothball is taking a long journey to Shanghai! 🇦🇺🇨🇳

Based on the beloved story by Jackie French and Bruce Whatley, the award-winning production Diary of a Wombat comes to life on stage with puppetry, live music and hilarious antics. A delightful show for the whole family to enjoy.

With thanks to the AusGov Office for the Arts for supporting our international tour of Diary of a Wombat to Shanghai Children's Art Theatre. We can’t wait to share this beloved Australian story with young audiences and families in China.

We wonder if Mothball will like Xiao Long Bao as much as she loves eating carrots.

Stay tuned… dates coming soon.

Our friends at CDP Theatre Producers are bringing the chaos (and the laughs) to the stage!

Adapted from the book by Andy Griffiths and Bill Hope YOU and ME have lost something important. Well… actually, lots of things. A guinea pig. A lucky rabbit’s foot. Possibly the plot! So they’re off on a wild quest through the Land of Lost Things – a world of snapping turtles, flying socks, treasure-hungry pirates, and a very anxious bull.

It’s a dangerous adventure – but with a bathtub boat, a guinea pig detector and just a little bit of luck, they might just make it home. That’s if they don’t get eaten by sharks. Or tricked by Johnny Knucklehead. Or trapped in the Lost Foot Empawrium…

Get ready for action, imagination, and extremely questionable navigation. And whatever you do… don’t lose your ticket!

Today, Monkey Baa shares its 2025 Annual Report: a year of creating, dancing, thinking, planning… and a lot of laughing. ✨

From Where is the Green Sheep? welcoming our youngest audiences; to Detention opening space for powerful conversations. Alongside Josephine Wants to Dance and Yong, reaching young people across regional and remote Australia.

54,448 audience members experienced our work…many for the very first time.

Through Theatre Unlimited, we continued to remove barriers, offering free tickets, transport and support so more young people could access live theatre. These moments build confidence, spark imagination and create lasting connection.

Thank you to the artists, staff, our Board, presenters, partners, donors, funders and supporters who made this possible.

👉 Take a look at what we achieved together. https://www.monkeybaa.com.au/assets/pdfs/annual-report-2025_compressed.pdf
