The 78-Storey Treehouse
The tallest tree house to hit the Darwin Entertainment Centre stage is on its way.
The 78 Story Treehouse, a stage adaptation of the Andy Griffiths and Terry Denton book, takes kids on an absurdist and silly journey into the movie-making level of the ever-growing structure.
Freya Pragt, who plays Jill, says there’s a hotshot director in town in the imaginary world.
“The whole idea is that they’ve got a big shot Hollywood film director to make a movie of their lives in the treehouse,” she says.
Pragt performed in The 26-Story Treehouse when it came to the Top End and loves the shows because they’re just good fun.
“It feels like a different breed of kids’ theatre,” she says.
“It’s totally about the adventure and the fun, and nothing to do with overarching morals or any sort of adult world that’s over hanging, that’s disrupting the kids’ fun.
“It’s all about the kids, but there are some cute jokes that adults will get a kick out off.
“It’s 58 minutes of wacky nonsense and joyful tales of friendship and shenanigans."
