The Playground in the Sky.

Who says a playground has to be on the ground?
After floods have devastated the streets of Brisbane, ten-year-old George looks for a silver lining after his family’s home has been ruined. He finds it in a mysterious girl, Melanie, who shows George an impossible playground hidden on a floating island above the city. On this playground in the sky, George, Melanie, and all the neighbourhood kids discover the joys and hardships of moving on from disaster through imagination, friendship, and embracing the wonderful unknown.
Written by Harry Fritsch, this critically-acclaimed play has something for every member of the family. A quintessentially Brisbane tale of friendship, imagination, and the power of play, "The Playground in the Sky" is a story about young people's resilience in the face of disaster.

Dear Adults…
Dear Adults... by Virag Dombay & Harry Fritsch uses the theatrical device of letter writing to explore different dynamics between children and adults. It gives voice to young people and raises their questions and concerns. Based on real-life stories and perspectives from young people aged 6-18, the verbatim theatre work Dear Adults… shares the ideas, concerns and thoughts of young people about the world, and expresses their opinions which have often been silenced.
This thought-provoking work empowers young people with agency and the confidence to ask the burning questions of our next generation. Audiences listen to their concerns and then are invited to write their own letter to share directly with an adult/child in their lives or leave in the Dear Adults… mailbox
