We pay our respects to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander ancestors of this land, their spirits and their legacy. The foundations laid by these ancestors give strength, inspiration and courage to current and future generations, both First Nations and non-First Nations peoples, towards creating a better Queensland.

1 hour

No interval, includes a 30-minute Glow & Tell experience followed by a 30-minute workshop, subject to change without notice

Placing children at the centre of this engaging interactive experience, Glow & Tell blends the magic of light and the simplicity of storytelling.

Using UV light in a custom-built tent, the Cremorne Theatre is transformed into a magical performance space where stories and imagined worlds come alive as glowing drawings appear on the walls and floor.

Following the performance, participants are invited to create and illustrate their own stories in glowing UV light.

Each Glow & Tell story is created by Patch Theatre artist Edgell Junior Edgell (Ni-Vanuatu) who will share unique stories exploring themes of family and culture.

This performance takes place inside a tent. The space inside is small and moderately dark.
A relaxed attitude is taken to noise and movement.
Shoes need to be removed before entering the tent.

Recommended for children aged 4 to 8 years.

Children aged under 18 months are free and do not require a ticket.

After each performance of Glow & Tell, audience members will be guided to The Playhouse Lounge to take part in the special Glow & Tell workshop activity.
