It's a much-loved children’s story that many generations have grown up with and now, Possum Magic is set to come to life when it hits our Bundaberg stage.
Bundaberg Regional Council Community and Cultural portfolio spokesperson Cr Judy Peters said the Australian classic will be showcased at the Moncrieff Entertainment Centre in August, thanks to the creative works of Monkey Baa Theatre Company.
“For over 30 years Mem Fox’s Possum Magic has captivated and enchanted young people,” Cr Peters said.
