VENUE: Empire Theatres, Toowoomba
In the Time of the Very Beginnings when everything was “Just So”, Pau Amma the Crab started playing with the ocean, causing the lands to flood. While most creatures accept their sad fate, Elephant’s Child embarks on a journey to challenge the disobedient crab. Aided by the Eldest Magician, the Kolokolo Bird and many other animals, the Child learns about courage, individuality and friendship – and we learn how the animals became JUST SO.
