Alison Lester’s much loved picture book Are We There Yet? comes to life on stage at Dubbo Regional Theatre on Friday 17 March for three magical performances.
Join eight year old Grace and her family on an adventurous (and often funny) expedition across the country, visiting iconic Australian landmarks along the way including the Great Australian Bight, Uluru, Surfers Paradise, and the Sydney Opera House.
From the team behind Magic Beach, The Gruffalo and The 13-, 26-, 52-, 78- and 91-Storey Treehouses, this new adaptation from multi-award winning playwright Finegan Kruckemeyer is a celebration of family, love, and the diversity and beauty of Australia.
Are We There Yet? is based on an actual road trip that Alison Lester went on with her family, and is the second of her classic picture books to be adapted for the stage. This beloved story will be brought to life with songs, laughs and quokkas (!) in a show that the entire family will enjoy.
Producer Suzie Franke of CDP Theatre Producers said, “Many of us will remember long family road trips. Hours in the backseat with our siblings asking our parents, are we there yet? This beautiful production will take you on a journey around this amazing country that will linger in your imagination long after the adventure is over. We can’t wait to share all the fun, excitement, and amazing sights with audiences across Australia.”
Manager, Dubbo Regional Theatre and Convention Centre, Linda Christof said “CDP Theatre is one of Australia’s most experienced independent touring producers, having toured nationally and internationally for over 20 years. In 2020, CDP was one of the first professional theatre companies to hold live performances post-lockdown, and the first professional company to re-commence touring interstate. They are regarded as one of the industry leaders and DRTCC have worked closely with the team for the past twelve years. Are We There Yet? Is a delightful 55 minute show suitable for 3 – 10 year olds and their families. If your littlies are apprehensive about their first trip to the Theatre, or they have additional sensory and learning needs, have a chat to our friendly Box Office staff about relaxed performances and the visual story on offer.”
