Party for Two
Writer, director, storyteller: Helen Lawry
Producer: Marina Barbaro
 
Involving some of the team that staged Return to the Village (Winner 2022 Bank SA Best Kids and Family Show Fringe), Party for Two is an interactive children's show set in the beautiful Adelaide Botanic Gardens.
 
The show subtly promotes nature play and celebrates quiet people who like small parties.
 

For the last 20 years the Storyteller has set up Sheldon and Tucker's Birthday Party. Today it's their birthday, but everything is running behind schedule. Perhaps you can make the mud cake, squeeze the lemonade and hang the bunting?


An outdoor show about modest celebrations and the fun of preparing a party.
For those who like to make and do.

 

How to find the Summer House:

You can find the Summer House at map reference point K8. Maps are positoned at each entrance to the gardens and can be found in the venue details. 

If you enter from the North Terrace entrance of the Botanic Garden. Take the first path to your right (heading East). There will be a sign pointing the way.

If you are entering the Botanic Garden from a Planetree Drive entrance, walk to the North Terrace Entrance. There will be a sign pointing to the Summer House just before you get to the Gate.

Presented by: Helen Lawry
