The Great Beach Adventure
A joyful, imagination-powered escapade for children aged 3–10 and their grown-ups. When two best friends decide it’s beach day, their living room transforms into a world of waves, pirates, sea creatures, and sun-soaked silliness.
The Great Beach Adventure is a story about imagination. Jacob has never been to the beach - Courtney has. This interactive, high-energy performance celebrates how kids play, problem-solve, and imagine their way through big adventures using everyday things. With physical comedy, playful surprises, and heartwarming friendship, it’s the perfect Fringe treat that will have the whole family ready for their very own Great Beach Adventure!
"My daughter and I LOVED the show. She was captivated from beginning to end, which is not an easy feat for a toddler." Audience
Presented by: Courtney Wagner & Jacob Watton
The Great Beach Adventure was created by Queensland-based artists Jacob Watton and Courtney Wagner, two dynamic theatre-makers passionate about imaginative, high-energy performance for young audiences.
Jacob is a choreographer, performer, and teaching artist working across contemporary dance, children’s theatre, and cross-disciplinary performance. Courtney is a performer and theatre-maker who has toured extensively across Queensland with companies including RAVA Productions and Shake & Stir.
Together, they bring a playful mix of physical comedy, movement, and storytelling to the stage. Their work celebrates curiosity, creativity, and connection—inviting children and families to laugh, move, and dream together through the magic of live performance.
