What's On

A Little Bit of Blue is an interactive environmental detective story, told with puppetry. As well as unravelling a mystery, it involves learning about the unique habits of an extraordinary Australian animal, the Satin Bowerbird, and their fascination for the colour blue.

Maviss world is turned upside-down by small disappearances. Something has gone missing and is nowhere to be found. Mrs Hooley has been looking everywhere. But its not just today. Every day a new thing seems to disappear. Little things. A $10 note. Clothes pegs. A ball of wool. Its troubling at first, but the thief then takes it one step too far...

­­Mavis calls in a Detective to investigate. The Detective, Harry McGee, an adorable buffoon, makes a mess of the investigation, and the children love always being one step ahead of him.


Jenny Ellis, a puppeteer of more than twenty years, weaves the whole mystery together, sometimes playing three characters at once. The young audience will gasp with surprise, sigh with the sadness, shout in outrage, cheer with triumph, and dance with joy as they follow the sneaky bowerbird on his journey to find love.

A special Q & A with puppeteer Jenny Ellis will be held post show.
