About the Event
“Stick Man,” brought to you by Freckle Productions, is a magical stage adaptation of the beloved children’s book by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler. The production transforms the story into a lively, family-friendly show filled with puppetry, live music, songs and plenty of humour.
When Stick Man’s ordinary morning jog takes an unexpected turn — chased by a dog, used in a swan’s nest, even ending up on a fire — he begins an epic journey to get back home to his family tree. The show captures the warmth, humour and heart of the original story in a dynamic theatrical experience.
