Season 2026
Theatre For Young Audiences
Warm greetings! We’re excited to share our 2026 season of children’s theatre.
We will be presenting two productions next year at the newly named DeSTAGE @ Jaya One (formerly PJ Live Arts).
STUCK | 3 – 22 May 2026
The stage adaptation of Oliver Jeffers’ best-selling tale about a little boy in a very sticky situation.
SPOT’S BIRTHDAY PARTY | 27 Sept – 16 Oct 2026
Based on the beloved Eric Hill classic Happy Birthday Spot, this brand-new adaptation is the perfect introduction to theatre for children.
3 – 22 May 2026
STUCK
It all begins when Floyd gets his kite stuck in a tree…
He throws his shoe to shift it, but that gets stuck too. So he throws up his other shoe and that gets stuck, too… along with the cat, a ladder, a pot of paint, the kitchen sink, an orangutan and a whale, amongst other things! Will Floyd ever get his kite back?
With catchy music and plenty of audience participation, this stage adaptation of Oliver Jeffers’ best-selling tale about a little boy in a very sticky situation is ideal for those aged 3 years and up.
“Childlike in concept and vibrantly illustrated as only Oliver Jeffers could, here is a picture book worth rescuing from any tree.”
“A wonderfully absurd book which should be read by everyone, everywhere.”
27 Sept – 16 Oct 2026
SPOT’S BIRTHDAY PARTY
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SPOT!
Spot is having a very special birthday party and everyone’s invited!
Join Spot and his friends for this engaging and interactive show for everyone aged 2+ years and their grown-ups. With party hats, songs, dancing and lots of interactive party games, this is going to be the best birthday party ever!
Based on the beloved Eric Hill classic Happy Birthday Spot, this brand-new adaptation is the perfect introduction to theatre for children – they’ll be encouraged to sign and dance along with Steve the Monkey, Tom the Crocodile, Helen the Hippo and Sally and Sam, Spot’s parents, to say a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY SPOT!
Spot has been an integral part of childhood for over 40 years and with his inquisitive nature, sense of curiosity, boundless energy, and simple shapes and colours, Spot helps families, babies and toddlers explore the world around them.
