Twinkle and the Moon is an interactive, theatrical play-based music and literacy experience for children aged 2 - 7 years and their families. The show was originally commissioned by the First 5 Forever Program and Gold Coast City Libraries in April 2021 to encourage a love of reading and confidence in imaginative play.
Snuggled into their blanket cubby house, Nadia and Twinkle always share a book together before nap time. Today they’re reading a book about a rocket ship! But...when the book is finished and it’s time for bed…Twinkle wants to play a game instead!
Twinkle is convinced the moon is made of cheese and he wants to take a bite. With a little help from the ’magic nap sack', Twinkle and Nadia use the power of imagination to blast off on an adventure full of sing-a-long songs, make believe and fantastical storytelling.
Join Twinkle in one small step for mouse-kind…and one giant leap of the imagination.
Twinkle and the Moon is written and directed by Nadia Sunde (Flight of the Humblebee, The Treasure of Captain Curlylocks), with music production by Michael Fix and set design by Josh McIntosh (Queensland Theatre Company).
