Now taking pencils for Autumn 2023 and Spring 2024
This award-winning original play for young children uses a rich mix of storytelling, physical theatre, clowning, puppetry and music & song to tell the tale of a puppy’s search for friendship in the wilderness of the Alps.
Fun-loving Oskar leaves the snowbound house at the top of the mountain to try to find a friendly animal to play with. But where are all the animals? And why must Oskar wait until spring to play his favourite game again?
Come and enjoy this entertaining, heart-warming family show about a puppy’s search for friendship in the wilderness of the Alps in a production full of good humour, adventure and music and song. Stay on after the show for your children to meet and play with the animal characters.
“Outstanding. This was my own preschooler's first ever live show and I am so massively grateful to Theatre Fideri Fidera for making it such a positive and memorable experience.”
