Eight year old Kellie doesn’t feel like she fits in at school until she receives a birthday gift who can talk on their own! Kellie meets Magrau, a chatty confident bird puppet who has a flair for singing, dancing and making people laugh. When Magrau signs Kellie up for the school talent show Kellie is mortified.
Audience participation drives the plot as Kellie grows up and learns that failure leads to success through practise and determination.
This theatrical show blends storytelling with ventriloquism, puppetry and singing. This story is about a child’s imagination and lovable birdy who never gives up. Join us for this heartwarming magical tale of overcoming shyness and sharing our talents.
