ABOUT US
Meerkat Productions specialise in adapting children’s literature for the stage; creating fresh and vibrant productions which prompt discussion and debate with students.
We are an Australian owned, Melbourne based, nationally touring theatre in education company, owned and operated by qualified teachers. We perform at private functions, schools, libraries, kindergartens and public events across VIC, NSW, ACT, SA, QLD & TAS. Many of the company’s creative team and performers have teaching degrees or are teachers and a great diversity of experience to bring to each show. All of our performers are young, trained professionals.

Why we do it
We create fresh and vibrant productions which deliver on specific areas of the school curriculum.
Our role (and our passion) is to empower children by entertaining them with theatre. We focus on providing programs that support student wellbeing and literacy by celebrating Australian stories. Our shows provide students with applicable strategies and our free teacher resources enable post show exploration in the classroom.
We are Australian owned and operated by qualified teachers and perform at schools, libraries and public events across the East Coast, Regional NSW & VIC, ACT, SA and TAS. This year we’re booked to perform as far north as Cairns, in remote regional areas such as Bourke and Marra Creek, and throughout regional VIC, NSW, QLD, SA and TAS.
