On Now. School Holiday Fun.

Based on a book by Dr Maysoon Salama
Director Bridget Sanders

A child’s journey to happiness with puppetry, music and more!

Award-winning Children’s Theatre Company, Birdlife Productions, bring this heart-warming and joyful story to the stage – about a little girl who finds happiness through her experience of the metamorphosis of the Monarch Butterfly. This work is based on the book of the same name by Ōtautahi/Christchurch based author, Dr Maysoon Salama, who wrote the story for her young Granddaughter Aya, and all the tamariki of Aotearoa/New Zealand. Expect exquisite puppetry, live music, lots of joining in and giant caterpillar fun, as well as a poignant experience for children and their whanau. Designed for families and ideal for children aged 3 to 9 years.
