Barking Gecko Arts: Stellarphant by James Foley
15 April @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm AWST

Stella the elephant has one big dream: to become an astronaut. The only problem is that Space Command says elephants can’t go to space.
Every time Stella applies, she’s told “no” for a different reason, but she won’t give up. With courage, creativity and the help of some unexpected friends, she sets out to build her own spaceship and prove that anyone can reach for the stars.
Full of laughter, heart and imagination, Stellarphant takes audiences on a cosmic adventure about determination, equality and following your dreams. Based on the award-winning picture book by James Foley and adapted for the stage by Clare Testoni, this uplifting production reminds us that heroes come in all shapes, sizes and species.
