Party Pigs!
By Peter Wilson Presented by Little Dog Barking Theatre Company
Party Pigs! is a delightful puppetry story set around the excitement and anticipation of a child’s birthday party – piggy style!
After accidentally spoiling one little piggy’s birthday, nine little piggies decide to throw a surprise party for their friend. Working together, the excitement builds until they just can’t wait any longer. This joyous family-friendly play reflects a world of fun and games, whether real or imaginary, and reminds us as adults not to take life too seriously.
Brought to you by New Zealand’s own internationally acclaimed Little Dog Barking Theatre Company, this piggie party is perfect for children aged 2–7 years old.
By arrangement with Playmarket.
