Family Fiesta heads to the Forest in 2026!
 

Family Fiesta is back at MPAC these July school holidays, inviting children aged 0–12 and their families to step into the forest and discover a world of wonder.

Across four days, the MPAC precinct transforms into a lively ecosystem of theatre, dance, music, art and hands‑on discovery. Journey beneath the soil in immersive theatre, encounter fungi in curious creative play, dance through dreamlike worlds, make music, explore science, and meet the creatures and stories that bring forests to life. With a mix of free drop‑in activities and affordable ticketed shows, Family Fiesta is a joyful celebration of imagination, learning and connection for the whole family.

    The script is based on a true story, although this dramatisation can feel somewhat contrived, with important assertions not interrogated, and credibility stretched as a result.

    Izzard: The Tragedy of Hamlet
    To Shakespeare’s text be true is the obvious goal here, and writer, director and actor have each scored.

    In the care of Pinchgut Opera’s director, Erin Helyard, this music, formulaic as it indeed is in some respects, sprang off the page into an experience rich in emotions.

    Even when individual works did not fully land for me dramaturgically, there is no denying the precision, intelligence and care of the artists creating them.

    Dirty Rotten Scoundrels | Redfern Lane Productions
    Unabashedly and unapologetically entertaining, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels delights in its hoax hokum, a whimsical hustle of musical comedy bustle.
