BY THE LOCALS, FOR THE LOCALS
Created by Jade Naidu, Threads is a love letter to Gumbaynggirr Country and the diverse community of the Mid North Coast.
Blending music, poetry, movement and storytelling, this uplifting new work celebrates connection, resilience and hope.
SET ALONG WATERFALL WAY
Warm, funny and moving, 'Threads' is perfect for all ages (with just a sprinkle of cheeky language used as a teaching moment for young audiences.) Two sensory-friendly shows and EDUCATIONAL workshops ARE also available for audiences
FOR ALL
Set in the rainforests along Waterfall Way, 'Threads' follows Pip, a spirited seedling, and her eccentric family of trees and animals as they unite through the hidden “Wood Wide Web” to protect their fragile world from invasive botanical and human forces.
Book your tickets
Book a Kids Educational Workshop + Sensory Friendly Show
A 30-minute hands-on workshop where children step into the world of Threads to explore its set and stories alongside characters from the show. Through games and gentle activities, they’ll learn about the unique trees, plants and animals of Waterfall Way, and understand why caring for Country helps protect the rainforest for future generations.
