Tiny Doctors: Happy Labs

A musical, interactive theatre lab where kids mix potions and learn the magic of emotions!
A joyful, hands-on theatre experience for children aged three plus, where feelings are explored, friendships are celebrated, and happiness is brewed—literally!

This two-part program begins with a live musical performance inside a transformed theatre space: the Tiny Doctors Research Centre. Upon arrival, each child receives their very own lab coat and goggles, instantly becoming Tiny Doctors, ready to investigate what makes us feel good inside.

Tiny Doctors: Happy Labs is designed to promote emotional wellbeing, self-expression, and social connection in a way that’s fun, memorable, and accessible. Perfect for families, schools, and little scientists with big hearts.
