Valley Lipcer, Roundabout Theatre Artistic Director and Understory’s writer and director, says, Children are called to adventure with the main characters from the Understory world and actively progress the story through imaginative problem solving, riddles and activities.

Part theatre, part quest, and part wacky science field trip, Understory is engaging and interactive with small groups of children participating in a 90-minute show. They will be accompanied by two ‘wondered’ characters on a mission to save the forest from disarray. During their quest they will collect clues, solve puzzles, crack codes, navigate obstacle courses and work together with the forest to shape the journey and the outcome.

The Understory quest begins as soon as the ticket is purchased, an invitation is sent to your child (via email to parents/carers), inviting them to be ‘Wonderers’ and outlining the adventure ahead. Parents and carers are encouraged to direct their children to the email and the website before they arrive at the show, so they are informed on how to be part of the Understory adventure.

Don’t miss out on discovering the magical adventure of Understory in the Lismore Rainforest Botanic Garden these April school holidays! For more information about the understory:  www.understory.roundabout.net.au.
