Greater Shepparton City Council, Media Release, 7 April 2026
Where is the Green Sheep? is an immersive visual theatre experience based on the beloved children’s book by Mem Fox and Judy Horacek. We meet Blue Sheep who loves blue flowers and Red Sheep who loves to cartwheel in the fields, Bath Sheep who loves bubbles and Bed Sheep who loves to bounce… But where is that Green Sheep?
Blending puppetry and animation, this beautiful production invites young audiences to join our three farmers on their quest to find the elusive green sheep. Co-created with students from Bankstown West Public School, this production integrates their voices as narrators, ensuring the work resonates deeply with young audiences.
Where is the Green Sheep? is a co-production with QPAC’s Out of the Box in association with Arts Centre Melbourne, The Sydney Opera House and The Art House, Wyong.
Riverlinks Manager Matthew Schroeders says, “We’re thrilled to welcome Where Is the Green Sheep? to life on our stage. This beloved story has captured the imaginations of families for years, and seeing it transformed into a vibrant, playful theatrical experience is pure joy. We can’t wait to welcome audiences of all ages to share in the fun as we celebrate this timeless tale together.”
Tickets are available online or through the Riverlinks Box Office: 03 5832 9511.
