DBCT Kids' Theatre Season | A Bee Story

Next date: Friday, 25 September 2026 | 06:00 PM

ARC Circus Presents
A Bee Story

A buzzy adventure awaits…

The award-winning, uniquely Australian, A Bee Story by ARC Circus is the perfect family entertainment. This charming circus show is a spectacular blend of world class acrobatics, juggling, dance, clowning and live music.

Join Queen Bee and Worker Bee on their magical adventures, where things never quite go to plan. Be enchanted by their super strength, pollen collecting skills, and incredible circus feats.

Through the power of physical theatre, we learn that together we can overcome great adversity. A Bee Story features themes of team work, learning to adapt, and sustainability.

A Bee Story was created, directed, and performed by the award-winning team at ARC Circus, based on the Gold Coast of Australia. ARC Circus is directed by Robbie Curtis (Circa, Cirque du Soleil, Circus Oz, Australian Ballet), and performer, musician and creator Lizzie McRae.
