If bedtime stories in your house involve fairies, flying boys, and mysterious rabbit holes, then Audrey and the Enchanted Adventure is the theatrical thrill ride your family has been dreaming of. This winter school holidays, from 30 June to 11 July, Phoenix Ensemble at The Beenleigh Showgrounds transforms into a whirlwind of magic, mayhem and marvelous characters, as Audrey and the Enchanted Adventure leaps off the page and onto the stage in a show tailor-made for little imaginations.
Presented by kbe Events, this brand-new live performance brings together the worlds of Peter Pan, Alice in Wonderland, and The Snow Queen in a delightfully original story that kicks off with one simple problem: Audrey just can’t pick which bedtime story she wants! Her clever mum decides to mash up her three favourites—and that’s when things get wild. Suddenly, Peter Pan himself shows up looking for a lost Tinkerbell, and Audrey is swept into a fantastical journey involving flying fiascos, rabbit hole tumbles, and a Wonderland under threat from an especially frosty Snow Queen. What begins as a bedtime compromise quickly turns into the most magical story Audrey (or your kids) have ever experienced.
Crafted by local writer Kristen Barros and brought to life by a talented ensemble of Southeast Queensland performers—Kayleigh Bancroft, August Cocks, Sandra Harman, Emma Parkinson, and Joshua Brandon—Audrey and the Enchanted Adventure is theatre for kids, by people who truly know how to enchant them. These are performers who’ve worked extensively with children, and they know how to deliver the giggles, gasps, and wide-eyed wonder that young audiences crave.
At just $15 a ticket, this hour-long performance is a school holiday treat that’s as affordable as it is unforgettable. With shows at 10am and 12pm each weekday, it’s the perfect mid-morning outing for families, grandparents, or school and community groups looking to sprinkle some magic into their break. There’s plenty of onsite parking, wheelchair access, and snacks and drinks available for purchase—because everyone knows a good story is even better with popcorn.
So grab your pixie dust, rally your little adventurers, and get ready for a theatrical experience packed with heart, humour, and heroic hijinks. Whether your child dreams of flying with Peter Pan, chatting with the Mad Hatter, or braving the icy stare of the Snow Queen, Audrey and the Enchanted Adventure is the live show they’ll be talking about long after the final bow.
