Bring the whole family for a wonderful live theatre experience presented by Goat Track Theatre Company’s Fast Track Ensemble!

One of four shows that make up The Story Tree Festival!

Young Lucy runs away from home after her parents tell her they are moving from the home she has grown up in. Filled with fear of all the changes and what she will lose, she becomes lost alone in the dark until a magical creature, Winston the Caterpillar, happens upon her. He invites her to join him on his journey to The Story Tree. At The Story Tree Lucy meets all kinds of quirky, hilarious creatures including one particularly sneaky Travelling Sales Toad, who all challenge her to take courage and face the next step of her journey and all it may entail - that is, if she dares.

Show is rated PG – suitable to all ages. Approximately 50 minutes in length.

Written and directed by Christie Eckersley.
