This show isn’t just for kids, our brilliant buffoonery will have picnickers of all ages cackling into their coleslaw. Trust us, this is one flight of fancy you don’t want to miss.

Suitable for everyone 8+ and their families

This is an outdoor production, so please bring your own chair or blanket to sit on, a picnic to dig into, and dress for the weather!

Notes on Performance:

  • Gates open one hour before, so bring a picnic and come and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. There will be delicious food options to enjoy before or while you watch the performance or you are welcome to bring along a picnic. Please note that due to our license, only alcohol purchased on The Reader’s premises may be consumed at this event.
  • Chairs, blankets and any other low-level accessories are welcome.
  • In case of rain, please don’t bring umbrellas as they block sight-lines for other audience members. Ponchos and raincoats are just as fetching, so please wear these instead.
