Pearlie in the Park

Pearlie is the best park fairy in the city! She keeps everyone happy in Jubilee Park – Mrs Duck and her ducklings, Brush and Sugar Possum, the singing Frogs and Sulky and Silky the spiders. But one day she wakes up to find everything topsy-turvy. Hurly-burly Pearlie! What can have gone wrong! Could those naughty rats Scrag and Mr Flea have something to do with it? It’s up to Pearlie to find out and put everything right for her favourite animals, who are all very upset! Just when she’s got all that sorted, she hears a cry,” Mama! Mama!” What now? See what ensues as Pearlie and the park gang entertain a very special guest.

Wendy Harmer is an author, children’s writer, comedian, television personality and is co-host of ABC 702 Sydney’s Breakfast radio program.

Composer Phillip Scott, best known for his work on the Wharf Revue and with the ABC, brings the musical magic to this joyful production.

Set design is by Derrick Cox, lighting design by Grant Fraser and costume design by Sarah Chelkowski. Musical direction is by Andrew Chessher and movement direction by Peter Blackburn.
