Diary of a Wimpy Kid The Musical
30 September-18 October
BOOK HERE
Middle school, ugh. It’s the worst. But Greg is determined not to be at the bottom of the popularity chart. He’ll leave that to his weird neighbour, Fregley. Or maybe Greg’s best friend, Rowley Jefferson. But it’s not going to be Greg…no way.
Jeff Kinney’s popular character from the hit book series takes centre stage as Greg’s cartoon diary becomes a hilarious and heartfelt musical. Will Greg’s plans to become popular lead him to sacrifice his one true friend? Can anyone avoid the dreaded Cheese Touch? Grab a hall pass and don’t be late for an adventure familiar to anyone who actually survived middle school.

Animal Farm Presented by Think Beyond
Thursday 4 December – Sunday 7 December
BOOK HERE
“All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others”
George Orwell’s dystopian novel, Animal Farm, tells the story of a rebellion on Manor Farm against the cruel farmer, Mr. Jones. A new order is established, but soon unease and fear take hold as the leader Napoleon and his pig class rule with an iron fist. This is a cautionary tale of how revolution can go wrong, as genuine disaffection becomes corrupted by a ruthless political class.
This new version, adapted for stage by Riley McLean, is an ensemble piece catered to the skills of the Think Beyond cohort, senior students at YPT.
