Arena Original Productions and Programs

Arena creates bold, surprising work made for young people, not adapted down to them. From stage shows and festivals to school residencies and community projects, we meet young audiences where they are and take them somewhere unexpected. Many productions also tour nationally.

CURRENT PRODUCTIONS

The Creativerse

The Creativerse is Bendigo’s first interactive children’s festival – a space where storytelling, play and imagination come together. Designed for curious minds, it invites participants to explore interactive worlds, create their own ideas and engage with creative experiences that extend beyond traditional theatre.

Finnegan The Fart Detective

By Lachlan Woods

Finnegan the Fart Detective is a fast-paced, laugh-out-loud theatre experience for kids, blending storytelling, sound and silliness into one joyful live performance. Part radio play, part theatrical adventure, it invites young audiences into a world where mystery and mischief go hand in hand.

Hidden Creature Gallery

Hidden Creature Gallery, by Arena, is an interactive creative experience where children discover and create digital creatures hidden within a playful, augmented reality world. Blending art, storytelling and technology, it transforms everyday spaces into sites of imagination.
